Robot-assisted Radical Cystectomy with Orthotopic Neobladder (Pitcher Pot): Point of Technique

Robot-assisted radical cystectomy with orthotopic neobladder reconstruction represents a significant advancement in the surgical management of muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma.This report presents the case of a 48-year-old male who underwent a robot-assisted radical cystectomy with an intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder of "Pitcher Pot" configuration.The "Pitcher Pot" technique, a neo-urethral modification of the ileal orthotopic neobladder, is designed to enhance urethral anastomosis and functional outcomes.The procedure was completed successfully with no intraoperative complications, and the patient exhibited satisfactory postoperative recovery, including self-voiding and improved continence.This case highlights the potential for improved quality of life and long-term functional outcomes associated with advanced surgical techniques in appropriately selected patients.
