About Radical Cystectomy
Radical cystectomy removes the bladder and nearby organs to treat invasive or high-risk bladder cancer. A new way of storing and passing urine is created in the same operation.
The surgeon removes the bladder, the lymph nodes in the pelvis, and the prostate and seminal vesicles in men, or the uterus, ovaries and part of the vagina in women. Urine is then diverted, either through an ileal conduit to a stoma bag, or a continent reservoir, or a new bladder made from bowel connected to the urethra. It can be open or robotic.
Usually a good fit if
- Muscle-invasive bladder cancer, or high-risk non-invasive cancer not controlled by bladder-sparing treatment.
- Kidney function adequate for the chosen urinary diversion.
- Fit for a major operation, with a multidisciplinary team agreeing on surgery.
May need to wait if
- Spread to distant organs usually means drug treatment is the main option.
- Poor kidney, heart or lung function may restrict surgery or diversion choice.
- A neobladder is generally unsuitable with poor kidney function, bowel disease or inability to manage self-catheterisation.
How to prepare
- Bring cystoscopy, biopsy, CT urogram and chest imaging results so staging is complete.
- Meet the stoma nurse before surgery to mark the stoma site and learn how diversions work.
- Ask your doctor about chemotherapy before surgery, kidney function tests and adjusting blood thinners.
- Stop smoking, and optimise diabetes and nutrition before the operation.
- Plan a longer stay near the hospital, with a companion trained in stoma care.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Which urinary diversion is suitable for me, an ileal conduit or a neobladder?
- Is pre-operative chemotherapy recommended?
- Is the surgery open or robotic, and how many do you perform each year?
- How will sexual and bowel function be affected?
- What are the main early and late complications and how are they managed?
- Who can help me with stoma or catheter problems at home?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- Surgeon cannot say how many cystectomies they perform annually.
- No stoma nurse or counselling before surgery.
- No discussion of chemotherapy before surgery, when it is standard.
- No staging scans before surgery.
