Laparoscopic Radical Cystectomy

Overview: Laparoscopic radical cystectomy is a complex procedure for the treatment of bladder cancer, involving the removal of the entire bladder and surrounding tissues, including lymph nodes. This surgery is crucial for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Procedure: Dr. Gulati performs this procedure laparoscopically, which involves making small incisions to insert a camera and surgical tools. The bladder is carefully removed, and Dr. Gulati may also perform a urinary diversion, creating a new way for urine to exit the body. The minimally invasive approach reduces recovery time and post-operative pain.

Benefits:

• Minimally invasive: Less trauma to surrounding tissues and quicker recovery.
• Comprehensive care: Removal of cancerous tissues with precision.
• Patient-centered approach: Options for urinary diversion are tailored to the patient’s needs.
