Abstract

Radical cystectomy is a complex procedure that encompasses surgery involving the urinary, gastrointestinal tracts and the retroperitoneum, with significant morbidity. Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) has been introduced to improve perioperative outcomes. It has been shown to provide equivalent oncologic outcomes to open radical cystectomy while providing some benefits in terms of perioperative outcomes. A complete intracorporeal approach utilizing intracorporeal urinary diversion may potentially offer additional benefits. Herein, we describe our technique for RARC and intracorporeal urinary diversion, as well as a review of oncologic and perioperative outcomes.
