Abstract:Objective: To investigate the surgical method and clinical value of en-bloc pelvic lymph node dissection in laparoscopic radical cystectomy. Methods: Clinical and pathological data of 40 patients with bladder cancer undergoing laparoscopic radical cystectomy and modified en-bloc pelvic lymph nodes dissection from February 2013 to February 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. All of the 40 patients were males. The mean age was 60.5 (31-80) years. Two patients were diagnosed as having T1 tumor, 19 having T2, 13 having T3 and 6 having T4. Results: All the 40 patients underwent laparoscopic surgery successfully without any conversion to open procedure. The mean operative time was 185 (140-240) min. The mean blood loss was 183 (30-600) mL with no blood transfusion during surgery. Average 13.5 lymph nodes, ranging from 8 to 22, were removed during the operation with lymph node positive rate of 20.0%. One patient got postoperative lymphatic fistula and recovered in 2 weeks. There were no other serious perioperative complications. Conclusions: Laparoscopic radical cystectomy with modified en-bloc lymph node resection can reduce the risk of vascular injury and bleeding during the operation, and ensure the thoroughness of pelvic lymph node dissection.
