Summary

With the same tumor control rate as classic radical cystectomy, radical cystectomy with partial preservation of the prostate and seminal vesicle can effectively preserve penile erection and fertility, improve urinary control rate and shorten hospitalization time. In this project, transurethral resection of the prostate was used to remove part of the prostate, which further reduced the trauma of radical cystectomy and better preserved the nerves and urethral sphincter. Rapid intraoperative examination of resected tissue can provide a basis for the selection of surgical options. Robot-assisted radical cystectomy can perform pelvic lymph node dissection more accurately, preserve neurovascular complex more effectively, and improve the control effect of tumor and the protective effect of sexual function and reproductive function. In view of the shortcomings of the internationally accepted orthotopic ileal neobladder, this study improved the operation according to the physiological and anatomical characteristics, restored the orthophoria of the new bladder, maintained the consistency of physiological anatomy, and minimized the bladder pressure.

Detailed description

Interventional group：patients undergoing transurethral resection and enucleation of the prostate first, do not open the bladder neck to maintain the integrity of the bladder neck. The enucleated prostate capsule and seminal vesicle are preserved under robotic surgery, and the urinary catheter is stretched during the operation to avoid implantation and metastasis. Conventional group：patients undergoing conventional robotic radical cystoprostatectomy. All the patients undergoing cystectomy and accept at least 12 months follow up. Followup: Each patient was evaluated at 3-month intervals for 1 year, at 6- month intervals for 2 to 3 years. Renal ultrasound, biochemical examination and urine culture were done every 3 to 6 months. Pelvic computerized tomography and retro-cystogram were performed 6 months postoperatively and annually thereafter. Urodynamic investigation and cystoscopic examination were done annually. Postoperative complications were classified as early (90 days or less) and late (greater than 90 days). Early and late complications were subdivided into those related and not related to the neobladder. Major complications were defined as grade III or higher. Daytime and nighttime continence levels were recorded postoperatively at patient interview. Continence was defined as complete if the patient was dry without a pad, satisfactory if no more than 1 pad was required and poor if the patient used more than 1 pad during the day or night.
