Robot-assisted radical cystectomy with the clinical application of "Y-shaped" end-to-side ureteral anastomosis in elderly and obese patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the clinical effect and safety of "Y-shaped" end-to-side ureteral anastomosis with robotic endoscopic technique in radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion (UD) in elderly and obese patients with bladder cancer.

Materials and methods

We retrospectively reviewed the records of 10 patients with bladder cancer who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy and "Y-shaped" end-to-side ureteral anastomosis under general anesthesia at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital (Affiliated People's Hospital, Hangzhou Medical College, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, 310014) from October 2018 to January 2021. Demographic and clinical data are summarized. The incidence of postoperative complications such as papillary retraction, ureteral stricture, ana
