Robotic Neobladder
Robotic Neobladder Reconstruction for Precise Bladder Restoration
Robotic neobladder surgery with intracorporeal neobladder is a sophisticated procedure that transforms the landscape of bladder surgery. This innovative technique involves the removal of the bladder and the creation of a new one using the patient’s intestine.
With its robotic-assisted approach, this surgery offers incredible precision, significantly reduces scarring, minimises blood loss, and accelerates recovery, compared to traditional open surgery methods.
At the forefront of this groundbreaking field is Dr. Aarthy, Chennai’s renowned robotic urologist. Her wealth of experience and exceptional skill have guided countless patients toward successful outcomes.
Her dedication to combining compassionate care with state-of-the-art surgical techniques sets her apart. She ensures that every patient receives the best possible support on their journey to recovery.
When is Robotic Neobladder the Right Choice?
Dr. Aarthy may recommend robotic neobladder reconstruction for the following urological conditions:
Save Your Bladder With Cutting-Edge Surgical Care
- Before Surgery
- What to Expect?
- Post-Surgical Care
Robotic Neobladder Surgery: Preparatory Guidelines
Undergo general and specific imaging tests, blood and urine analysis, and a thorough physical examination to assess your health and confirm your candidacy for the procedure.
Follow your doctor’s instructions about temporarily discontinuing routine medications like blood thinners. Also, inform your doctor of your existing prescription, supplement, and herbal intake.
Do not eat or drink before the surgery, and follow the special diet advised by your surgeon to prepare your digestive system for the procedure.
Quit smoking at least a few weeks before your surgery appointment. This will positively impact your healing process and minimise post-surgical risks.
Robotic Neobladder Surgery: What to Expect?
Dr Aarthy will follow a specific protocol to perform the robotic neobladder reconstruction to ensure a safe and beneficial procedure.
A certified anaesthetist will administer general anaesthesia to render you fully unconscious and pain-free until the procedure is complete.
Your surgeon will use a technologically sophisticated robotic system that provides detailed visualisation and precision to make small incisions, insert surgical instruments, and operate a camera.
Using the robot’s assistance, the diseased or damaged bladder is meticulously extricated with minimum blood loss and risk of surgical complications.
Your doctor will use a section of your small intestine to create a new bladder, known as a neobladder. This bladder will be attached to the urethra to enable normal urination.
A temporary catheter is inserted to help you void your bladder and give your neobladder adequate time to heal, become a part of your body, and adjust to its functions.
The neobladder reconstruction procedure may last several hours, depending on the surgery’s complexity and overall health condition.
Robotic Neobladder Surgery: Post-Surgical Care
A surgery as complex as robotic neobladder reconstruction requires stringent post-surgical care to ensure quick and wholesome healing. Here are some guidelines to make this possible.
Since you will be wearing your catheter for a few weeks after the procedure, keeping the area clean and dry is imperative to prevent infections.
Ensure adequate water and fluid intake to flush your urinary system, train your new bladder, and facilitate complication-free healing.
Keep your diet light and avoid spicy or acidic foods for a few days. Introduce solid foods gradually to give your digestive system time to adjust and heal.
Track your urine colour, volume, and frequency. Contact your healthcare provider if you notice blood, severe discomfort, or reduced urine flow.
As advised by your healthcare team, engage in pelvic floor strengthening exercises to help regain urinary control.
