Robot Assisted Radical Cystectomy with Intracorporeal Neo-Bladder (RARC + ONB)

Robot Assisted Radical Cystectomy with Intracorporeal Neo-Bladder (RARC + ONB) is an advanced surgical procedure used to treat bladder cancer by removing the bladder and reconstructing a new bladder (neo-bladder) inside the body. In this procedure, robotic assistance is used to perform the radical cystectomy, a surgery that removes the bladder, along with nearby lymph nodes and other tissues affected by cancer. The use of robotic technology allows for greater precision, minimal incisions, and enhanced visualization during surgery, which leads to reduced complications and quicker recovery times. After the bladder is removed, the surgeon constructs a new bladder using a portion of the patient’s intestines. The neo-bladder is then connected to the urethra, allowing the patient to urinate naturally. This procedure offers a less invasive approach to a traditionally complex surgery, improving the overall experience for patients and providing a potential for better functional outcomes.

Benefits and Post-Surgery Recovery of RARC + ONB

The benefits of Robot Assisted Radical Cystectomy with Intracorporeal Neo-Bladder (RARC + ONB) extend beyond just the surgical precision. Due to the minimally invasive nature of the robotic approach, patients experience smaller incisions, less blood loss, and reduced postoperative pain, all contributing to faster recovery. Many patients can go home within a few days of surgery and resume their daily activities within a few weeks. The creation of an intracorporeal neo-bladder allows for improved bladder function compared to other forms of urinary diversion, as patients may regain the ability to urinate naturally. However, recovery is still a gradual process and may involve adjustments as patients learn to manage their new bladder. Despite the challenges, RARC + ONB is considered one of the most effective options for bladder cancer patients, offering the potential for a return to normal life with minimal disruption to daily function and overall well-being.
