Retrospective analysis of laparoscopic radical cystectomy with complete intracorporealorthotopic neobladder reconstruction covering a peiord of ten years / 中华泌尿外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the perioperative and oncological outcomes in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical cystectomy with intracorporealorthotopic neobladder reconstruction.Methods:Clinical data of bladder cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical cystectomy(LRC) or robot-assisted radical cystectomy(RARC) with intracorporealorthotopic neobladder reconstruction in Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from March 2010 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 166 males and 52 females. The median age was 62 (52, 70) years old. The ASA score was 1-2 in 183 cases (83.9%) and 3 in 35 cases (16.1%). There were 61 cases of hypertension, 28 cases of diabetes, 26 cases of heart disease, 33 cases of history of abdominal surgery, and 3 cases received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. LRC was performed in 82 cases and RARC in 136 cases. The operation was performed by dissecting pelvic lymph nodes from right to left and then cystoprostatectomy. The periureteral blood supply and periperitoneal peritoneum were preserved, and the prostate was resected by intrafascial resection. The 30 cm terminal ileum was used to make a U-shaped new bladder, and then the urethral stump and both sides of the ureter were anastomosed on new bladder without tension. During the operation, two single J tubes were used as ureteral stent.The perioperative and pathological results results were evaluated.Results:The operations of 218 patients were completed successfully and there was no conversion to open operation. The median operation time was 281 (229, 400) ml. Intraoperative blood transfusion was performed in 24 cases (11.0%). Hospital stay was 15 (13, 22) days.Intraoperative complications happened in 11 cases (5.0%). Exhaust time was 2 (1, 3) days. Solid food intake time was 4 (3, 5) days. Total complications within 30 days after operation were 61 cases (28.0%), and total complications within 30-90 days after operation were 81 cases (37.2%). The number of median lymph node dissection in all patients was 19 (14, 24). Positive lymph nodes in 21 cases (9.6%). Positive margin in 6 cases (2.7%). Postoperative tumor pathological stages were T a/T 1/T is stage 48 cases, T 2 stage 134 cases, T 3 stage 36 cases. The median follow-up time of all patients was 33 (20.6, 48.2) months. There were 77 cases of tumor recurrence and 55 cases of death, of which 39 cases were tumor-specific death. The 5-year disease free survival, overall survival , and cancer-specific survival of all patients were 55.4%, 62.4% and 66.4%, respectively. Conclusions:Laparoscopic radical cystectomy and intracorporealorthotopic new bladder reconstruction can be well used in the treatment of muscle invasive or high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.Laparoscopic intracorporeal bladder reconstruction is feasible with few postoperative complications.
