ABSTRACT
The patient, a 56-year old male, was admitted to the hospital for recurrent bladder cancer in November 29, 2021. The patient had previously undergone partial cystectomy, simultaneous radio-chemotherapy to preserve the bladder, and repeated 4 times TURBt. CT suggested T 3 stage bladder cancer in left bladder wall, and causing left hydronephrosis. Under general anesthesia, robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy and complete intraperitoneal orthotopic ileal neobladder reconstruction were performed. The operation was successful, the postoperative recovery was good, and the patient was discharged 7 days after surgery. Postoperative pathological diagnosis was T 2b, high-grade urothelial carcinoma with left pelvic lymph node metastasis. Three months after operation, the patient had no recurrence, the new bladder function was good, the urine could be completely controlled during the day, and the intestinal and renal functions recovered well. At present, we carried out adjuvant chemotherapy (Gemcitabine+ Cisplatin)to this patient. The technical of radical cystectomy and orthotopic ileal neobladder with a history of surgery and radiotherapy is high, expensive experience in laparoscopic surgery and elaborate actions of robotic surgery are important prerequisites for completing such surgery.
ABSTRACT
The bladder cancer is a common malignant tumor in urinary system.The standard treatment for muscle invasive bladder cancer is radical cystectomy.Considering the damage to patients and the drastic effect on their life caused by the radical cystectomy,many domestic and overseas scholars suggest a comprehensive treatment based on a bladder-keeping surgery with adjuvant therapy including radiotherapy,chemotherapy and frequent follow-up,which showslow operation-related risk and complication rate compared with the radical cystectomy.As a result,patients are able to preserve the function of bladder.
