Robot-assisted radical cystectomy and urinary diversion.
Radical cystectomy remains the standard for muscle-invasive, organ-confined urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. With the emergence of minimally invasive approaches for the treatment of urologic cancers, technologic advances using laparoscopy have led to the development of robotic assistance to increase the feasibility of performing this formidable operation. In this article, we describe the procedure of robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy with urinary diversion and review the pertinent literature.
