What is a Laparoscopic Cystoprostatectomy?

A laparoscopic cystoprostatectomy involves the removal of the prostate gland and the bladder. A new bladder is built for urine excretion. 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:

·         Bladder and prostate gland removal

·         Laparoscopic surgery

·         Laparoscopic prostate and bladder removal

Conditions Treated with a Laparoscopic Cystoprostatectomy:

A laparoscopic cystoprostatectomy may be performed in cases of bladder or prostate cancer.

Non-Surgical or Other Surgical Alternatives to a Laparoscopic Cystoprostatectomy:

There are no comparable non-surgical alternatives to a laparoscopic cystoprostatectomy. A traditional or robotic cystoprostatectomy may be performed as a surgical alternative.

Anesthesia with a Laparoscopic Cystoprostatectomy:

A laparoscopic cystoprostatectomy is performed under general anesthesia, which means that the patient is asleep and completely unaware during the procedure.

Potential Complications from a Laparoscopic Cystoprostatectomy:

Possible risks following a laparoscopic cystoprostatectomy include infection, bleeding and a negative reaction to the anesthesia.

Prognosis after a Laparoscopic Cystoprostatectomy:

The prognosis for a positive end result following a laparoscopic cystoprostatectomy is good. However, a urostomy bag will need to be used to collect urine.
