We describe our experience with a laparoscopic ileal-loop conduit technique for an elderly high-risk patient with bladder cancer. Four ports were used. The ileal segment was sectioned and isolated, ileal continuity was restored, and the ureter was implanted into the ileal segment conduit, extracorporeally. Conduit stoma was formed in one port. Operating time: 4 h. Recovery uneventful. The patient was discharged on the sixth postoperative day and is symptom-free at present and under radiotherapy.
Transperineal laparoscopy in male patients is a feasible technique that may be an alternative for natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery in women, but further assessment is required.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
