Laparoscopic Radical Cystectomy: A Minimally Invasive Approach to Bladder Cancer Treatment

Laparoscopic radical cystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat muscle-invasive and high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. This technique involves removing the bladder and surrounding lymph nodes through small incisions using specialized laparoscopic instruments. Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic radical cystectomy offers reduced blood loss, smaller scars, less post-operative pain, and a quicker recovery. A urinary diversion (such as an ileal conduit, neobladder, or continent reservoir) is created to help patients manage urinary function after bladder removal. The precision of laparoscopic techniques results in better surgical outcomes and faster return to normal activities, making it a preferred choice for eligible patients.
