The current standard treatment for nonmetastatic invasive bladder cancer is radical cystectomy with urinary diversion. Radical cystectomy surgery carries a serious potential risk of complications. In this case report, an intestinal perforation which was thought to be occurred due to a Foley catheter placed as a drain after the cystectomy is presented.

PURPOSE Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) was originally intended to replace open radical cystectomy (ORC) as a minimally invasive surgery for patients with invasive bladder cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the advantages of robotic surgery, comparing perioperative and oncologic outcomes between RARC and ORC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between June 2012 and August 2016, 49 ...

Radical cystectomy is the gold standard for muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder because this operation provides excellent local cancer control. Laparoscopic radical cystectomy with different urinary diversions has been reported since 1992 and proposed as an alternative to open radical cystectomy. However, the reconstruction part of the operation is time-consuming and challenging...

Laparoscopic-assisted ovarian cystectomy with exteriorization is a minimally invasive procedure. However, applicability of this procedure for transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) surgery is not well established. Herein, we describe our initial experience with isobaric (gasless) LESS-assisted extracorporeal cystectomy in management of selected adnexal tumors. Of 17 consecutive adne...

PURPOSE To overcome difficult dissection of the vascular pedicles during laparoscopic radical cystectomy we used a novel technique of internal bladder retraction. MATERIALS AND METHODS An internal bladder retractor was used to facilitate dissection of the vascular pedicles during laparoscopic radical cystectomy in a female patient. RESULTS The application of the retractor is easy and it all...

OBJECTIVE We aim to evaluate our experience and results with laparoscopic radical cystectomy and conduct a systematic review of studies reporting on 50 or more procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between February 2006 and March 2011, a prospective study in a single institute on patients with bladder cancer who underwent laparoscopic radical cystectomy was conducted. A search of the Cochrane Lib...

OBJECTIVE This study was performed to assess our clinical experience with single-port access (SPA) laparoscopic cystectomy and myomectomy and the surgical outcomes of those procedures at our institution. METHODS The authors evaluated the surgical outcomes of SPA laparoscopic cystectomy in 293 patients and SPA laparoscopic myomectomy in 246 patients. The surgical outcomes comprised operation t...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the oncologic and reproductive outcomes of patients with borderline ovarian tumours (BOTs) who were treated with cystectomy or unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (USO). METHODS The medical records of patients with BOTs who were treated between 1997 and 2009 were reviewed retrospectively. The recurrence rates were compared between the USO and cyste...

PURPOSE Radical cystectomy currently is the treatment of choice in muscle-invasive bladder cancer. However, cystectomy is associated with considerable morbidity. Bladder sparing treatment consists of transurethral resection of the tumor (with or without partial cystectomy), external beam radiotherapy, and brachytherapy. The purpose of this study is to compare bladder preservation with brachythe...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the differences of peri-operatory and oncological outcomes between Laparoscopic Radical Cystectomy and Open Radical Cystectomy in our center. MATERIALS AND METHODS Overall, 50 patients were included in this non randomized match-pair analysis: 25 patients who had undergone Laparoscopic Radical Cystectomy for invasive bladder cancer (Group-1) and 25 patients with similar ...
