Abstract:
Objective To investigate the feasibility of construction of orthotopic ileal neobladder after laparoscopic radical cystectomy(LRC)for female patients with bladder carcinoma.Methods From February 2003 to July 2006,we had performed construction of orthotopic ileal neobladder after laparoscopic radical cystectomy,hysterectomy,and ovariectomy on 8 women with bladder carcinoma.Under general anaesthesia,the patients were placed in the supine position with the head down at 15?,the thighs abduced,and the knee flexed.A 5-port transperitoneal approach was used.Under a laparoscope,the peritoneum was incised at the level of the bifurcation of the iliac vessels,and then the ureter was freed,and the round ligament of the uterus and the ovarian ligament were cut.Afterwards,the broad ligament was separated and pelvic lymphadenectomy was done.Then,the cardinal and uterosacral ligaments,bilateral ureters,and the lateral pedicles of the bladder were cut;the peritoneum was incised along the base of the broad ligament to open the vaginal vault so that the peritoneal reflection can be transected to expose the retropubic space.After that,the deep dorsal vein of the clitoris and the ureter was cut successively(the ureter was cut at 0.5 cm downwards from the neck of the bladder.Finally,the vagina was transected at the level adjacent to the vaginal vault,and the residual vagina was sutured.After the laparoscopy,the resected tissues were removed through a 4-to 5-cm incision on the midline of the lower abdomen,and then a M-shape ileal neobladder was constructed outside the incision.The ureter was reimplanted to the posterior wall of the pouch and replaced into the peritoneal cavity.The urethra-pouch anastomosis was completed by laparoscopy.Results The mean operation time in the 8 patients was(344.5?42.1)min,mean blood loss was(373.9?81.3)ml.The patients were followed up for 6 to 46 months with a mean of 26 months(over 12 months in 6 patients).During the follow-up,all the patients achieved automatic micturition in half a year.One patient had urinary incontinence occasionally,one had night-time urinary incontinence,and one had dysuria.The mean volume of the neobladders was(333.6?40.4)ml,and residual urine volume was(51.2?18.1)ml.After the operation,one patient developed uretero-neobladder anastomotic occlusion,and one had fistula of the neobladder.Conclusions Laparoscopic radical cystectomy,hysterectomy,and ovariectomy is feasible for female patients with bladder carcinoma.After the procedure,which is mini-invasive,most patients had automatic micturition;however,the rates of urinary incontinence and dysuria are relatively high.Further investigations are needed to study the long-term outcomes of LRC and reconstruction of orthotopic ileal neobladder.
