Laparoscopic surgery for bladder carcinoma

R O Parra et al. Semin Surg Oncol. 1996 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

Recent utilization of laparoscopy in urology has led to the performance of several pelvic procedures. The successful performance of laparoscopic diverticulectomies and cystectomies for benign pathology has led to speculation about, and utilization of, the laparoscopic approach in the treatment of bladder cancer. Herein, we relay our experience with the laparoscopic approach for bladder surgery and discuss the pros and cons of its current status in the treatment of bladder cancer.
