title: [Radical laparoscopic cystectomy].
abstract: Radical laparoscopic cystectomy is being adopted by most groups with proven experience in laparoscopic surgery, especially by those who have already completed the learning curves in radical laparoscopic prostatectomy. It is still considered a highly complex technique, which has not yet been mastered in many Urology Units. In this article, we review the surgical technique and available literature on this approach, with special emphasis on its indications, advantages and most frequent morbidity.
