Robotic Intracorporeal Padua Ileal Bladder: Surgical Technique, Perioperative, Oncologic and Functional Outcomes

Conclusions Our experience supports the feasibility of totally intracorporeal neobladder following RARC. Operative times and perioperative complication rates are likely to be reduced with increasing experience. Patient summary We report the outcomes of our first 45 consecutive patients who underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal neobladders. Perioperative, oncologic, and functional outcomes support this technique as a feasible and safe surgical option in tertiary referral centres. Our experience supports the feasibility of totally-intracorporeal neobladder following robotic radical cystectomy. Robotic intracorporeal Padua ileal bladder is a safe surgical option in tertiary referral centres. Operative times and perioperative complication rates are likely to be reduced with increasing experience.
