title: [Laparoscopic cystoprostatectomy, initial experience: 13 patients].
abstract: From July 2003 to February 2004, 13 laparoscopic radical cysto-prostatectomies have been achieved in our department. The technique is describe, the ablation of the bladder and prostate is done through a pure laparoscopic approach when the reconstruction is done trough a small incision under the umbilicus. The uretro-neobladder anastomoses are performed under laparoscopy after re-integration of the bladder. All procedures have been successfully achieved; the mean operative time is 400 minutes, 320 for the cutaneous diversions and 450 for the Camey 2 procedures. Blood loss were 390 ml, blood transfusion was d for only one patient. No major complication was observed, the mean hospital stay was 14.2 days (+3.5). In our experience laparoscopic radical cystectomy is a safe option, associated with shorter hospital stays and gentler postoperative recovery.
