A laparoscopic cystectomy involves the removal of
the bladder and the construction of a new bladder. This
procedure is performed with a minimally invasive method that utilizes a
laparoscope (a small video camera) and small instruments inserted through small
incisions.
Also Known As:
· Cyst removal
· Laparoscopic surgery
· Laparoscopic bladder removal
Conditions Treated with a Laparoscopic Cystectomy:
A laparoscopic cystectomy may be performed in cases of bladder cancer.

There are no comparable non-surgical alternatives to
a laparoscopic cystectomy. An open or robotic cystectomy may be performed as a surgical
alternative.
Anesthesia with a Laparoscopic Cystectomy:
A laparoscopic cystectomy is performed under general anesthesia, which means that the patient is asleep and completely unaware during the procedure.
Potential Complications from a Laparoscopic Cystectomy:
Possible risks following a laparoscopic cystectomy include infection, bleeding and a negative reaction to the anesthesia.
Prognosis after a Laparoscopic Cystectomy:
The prognosis for a positive end result following a laparoscopic cystectomy is good. However, a urostomy bag will need to be used to collect urine.
