Radical Cystectomy
Radical Cystectomy: Advanced Surgical Treatment for Bladder Cancer

Radical cystectomy is a major surgical procedure performed to treat muscle-invasive bladder cancer and certain cases of high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. This procedure involves the complete removal of the bladder along with surrounding lymph nodes and, in some cases, nearby organs. After bladder removal, a urinary diversion is created to allow the body to store and expel urine. Depending on the patient's condition, options like an ileal conduit, neobladder, or continent urinary reservoir may be used. Radical cystectomy can be performed using open surgery, laparoscopic techniques, or robotic-assisted methods, with robotic surgery offering greater precision, less blood loss, faster recovery, and fewer complications. Consulting an experienced urologist is essential for optimal outcomes and post-surgical recovery.

Detailed Information

✔ Recommended for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer
✔ Used for high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that doesn’t respond to other treatments
✔ Prevents cancer spread by removing affected tissues and lymph nodes
✔ Provides the best chance of long-term survival for eligible patients

Ileal Conduit: A small intestine segment is used to create a urinary stoma, requiring an external bag to collect urine.
Neobladder: A new bladder is created using the intestine, allowing urination through the urethra.
Continent Urinary Reservoir: A pouch is formed inside the body, enabling urine drainage through a catheter.

Open Surgery: Requires a large incision, leading to longer recovery but widely practiced.
Laparoscopic Surgery: Uses small incisions, providing reduced pain and faster healing.
Robotic-Assisted Surgery: Offers enhanced precision, minimal blood loss, and quicker recovery.

✔ Hospital stay of 5–7 days for close monitoring
✔ Gradual return to daily activities over 4–6 weeks
✔ Special care for urinary diversion management and recovery
✔ Regular follow-ups to ensure cancer-free outcomes
