Robotic Cystectomy & Neo-bladder Formation

Training Overview

Robotic Cystectomy & Neo-bladder Formation Training is an advanced, simulation-based surgical program designed for urologists, surgical fellows, and robotic surgery teams seeking to refine their technical skills and procedural understanding of robot-assisted radical cystectomy and urinary diversion. This two-day course integrates theoretical learning with high-fidelity, hands-on simulation to ensure comprehensive mastery of one of the most complex reconstructive urologic surgeries.

The program begins with foundational sessions on pelvic anatomy, oncologic principles, and robotic instrumentation setup specific to cystectomy and intracorporeal neo-bladder reconstruction. Participants study step-by-step procedural workflows, including urethral dissection, lymph node dissection, bowel segment isolation, and neo-bladder configuration.

In the simulation lab, attendees engage in full procedural rehearsals using advanced robotic simulation platforms and 3D anatomical models that replicate intraoperative conditions. Guided by expert faculty, participants practice suturing, anastomosis, and neo-bladder pouch creation techniques to develop precision and efficiency. Interactive video-based reviews and live faculty demonstrations complement simulation sessions, allowing for performance assessment and skill refinement.

The course also emphasizes complication prevention, intraoperative troubleshooting, and post-surgical functional outcome optimization. Faculty-led discussions cover patient selection, perioperative management, and long-term continence and renal function outcomes following robotic cystectomy and urinary diversion.

By the end of the training, participants will have achieved enhanced technical proficiency, procedural fluency, and surgical confidence in performing robotic cystectomy and intracorporeal neo-bladder reconstruction in clinical settings.
