Abstract:Objective:To investigate the clinical feasibility and safty of totally laparoscopic radical cystectomy with intracorporeal Ileal conduit urinary diversion and to summarize the operative technique.Methods:Between January 2012 and September 2012, 10 patients(7male and 3 female) underwent totally laparoscopic radical cystectomy with intracorporeal ileal conduit urinary diversion. Radical cystectomy in the female patient and radical cystoprostatectomy in the male patient were completed. Bilateral extended pelvic lymphadenectomy was done. A 15 cm. segment of ileum 15 cm. from the ileocecal junction was isolated, and ileo-ileal continuity was restored using Endo-GIA staplers (U.S.Surgical, Norwalk, Connecticut). An ileal bladder was constructed. Bilateral stented ureteroileal anastomoses were individually performed to the ileal bladder. All suturing was done exclusively using free-hand laparoscopic techniques and the entire procedure was completed intracorporeally.Results:The average operation time for laparoscopic radical cystectomy with intracorporeal ileal conduit urinary diversion was 350 min(300-410 min), with a blood loss ranging from 200 to 700 ml. Hospital stay was 12 to 17 days and surgical margins of the bladder specimen were negative in each case. Postoperative renal function was normal and excretory urography revealed unobstructed upper tracts. During followup ranging from 3 to 9 months 10 patients are doing well without local or systematic progression.Conclusions:Totally laparoscopic radical cystectomy with ileal conduit urinary diversion is technically feasible and safe and can be done intracorporeally without complications. However, its practical application requires improved long-term outcomes compared with open surgery.
