METHODS 26 patients diagnosed with invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder underwent a robot-assisted radical cystectomy with bilateral extended pelvic lymphadenectomy with ileal conduit diversion. Total intra-corporeal ileal conduit creation was performed in the last thirteen patients. Operative data and short-term outcome between the two groups were assessed. The novel surgical technique for intra-corporeal ileal conduit will be presented. RESULTS The intra-corporeal group (IC) included 2 females and 11 males (mean age 71 years). The extra-corporeal group (EC) included 4 females and 9 males (mean age 66 years). No significant differences were noted between the groups in terms of patient age, BMI, sex, prior surgery or pathologic stage. Overall operative time and intra-operative complications were similar. No significant differences were noted between the two groups in terms of diversion time or estimated blood loss. There were four complications recorded in IC including: non-specific colitis, small bowel obstruction requiring exploratory laparotomy with lysis of adhesions, a urine leak that eventually resolved, but required a temporary nephrostomy tube, and a fourth patient with fever of unknown origin that resolved without intervention. CONCLUSIONS Robot-assisted intra-corporeal ileal conduit can be accomplished safely with acceptable operative times even during early experience. Larger series with favorable results will be required to add this new paradigm to minimally invasive surgery for bladder cancer.
