The Treatment Outcome of Laparoscopic Radical Cystectomy at a Single Institution

(Objective) Although laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) is becoming a standard care for invasive and high-risk non-invasive bladder cancer in Japan, the data about mid-and long-term oncological outcome is still lacking. We previously reported our initial experience of LRC compared to open radical cystectomy. In this study, we evaluated mid-term oncological outcome for LRC by updating our clinical data. In addition, we evaluated the effect of technical modifications for LRC. (Patients and methods) From March 2005 to September 2015, 60 patients underwent LRC at our institution. Treatment outcomes including surgical and oncological outcomes were analyzed. We also assessed the effect of technical modifications between first 30 cases and second 30 cases as to blood loss, operating time and complication rate. (Results) The overall complication rate was 47%, including 18% serious complications (Clavien score 3 or greater). The 5-year recurrence-free survival, cancer-specific survival, and overall survival were 56.2%, 74.4%, and 63.6%, respectively. The recurrence occurred in 19 (32%) cases, including distant metastasis in 12 (20%) cases, local recurrence in 6 (10%) cases, and both in 1 (2%) cases. As for the effect of technical modifications for LRC, the blood loss decreased and postoperative recovery was faster in second 30 cases. (Conclusion) These results indicate that LRC could be performed safely with acceptable oncological outcomes.
