Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Partial Cystectomy as Treatment for Pseudosarcomatous Fibromyxoid Tumor of the Bladder

This case is of a 26 year old female evaluated for gross hematuria and suprapubic pain found to have a large bladder tumor. She subsequently underwent successful robotic assisted laparoscopic partial cystectomy. Pathology revealed pseudosarcomatous fibromyxoid tumor, an uncommon lesion that occurs most frequently among young females and must be distinguished from other malignant lesions, as tre...

Robotic-assisted radical cystectomy.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the emerging role of robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) in the management of bladder cancer. METHODS Review of the published literature on robotic-assisted radical cystectomy, including data from our cystectomy series of 30 patients. RESULTS Nearly 150 procedures have been performed worldwide. The benefits of robotic-assisted operations are similar to those of ...

Paraganglioma of Urinary Bladder Managed by Laparoscopic Partial Cystectomy in Conjunction with Flexible Cystoscopy: A Case Report

Background: Paraganglioma of the urinary bladder (PUB) is exceedingly rare, accounting for <0.1% of all urinary bladder tumors. Various challenging treatment options are available. Case Presentation: A 67-year-old female presented with malignant hypertension on four medications for which investigation was done. An observation of having functioning PUB was noted. She was admitted and laparoscopi...

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial cystectomy for symptomatic urachal hamartoma.

We report a case of an urachal hamartoma in a 30-year-old African American woman. The urachal lesion was excised with a robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial cystectomy. Pathologic analysis revealed cysts, smooth muscle, and ciliated epithelium consistent with a hamartoma. The patient recovered without complication. This case highlights an unusual pathology that is infrequently reported followi...
