In this video we describe our technique of robot-assisted en-bloc radical cystectomy with nephroureterectomy and intracorporal urinary diversion.
The video shows in detail all steps of the procedure from port placement (seven-port transperitoneal approach) over the ablative steps (bladder and kidney resection and pelvic lymph node dissection) to the fully intracorporal robot-assisted reconstruction. We also report on intra-and postoperative bench-marks of the procedure in a series of ten patients presenting muscle-invasive bladder cancer and synchronous upper urinary tract urothelial cell carcinoma.
