AB Initial  reports  of  cystectomy  are  attributed  to  Bardenheuer  et  al  of  Cologne  in  1887,  with  the  first  female  cystectomy  being  performed  by  Pawlik  in  Czechoslovakia  around  the  same  time.  The  modern  steps  of  the  radical  cystectomy  with  pelvic  lymph  node  dissection  were  described  by  Whitmore  and  Marshall  in  1962.1  Further  refinements  have  taken  place  over  the  years,  with  Schlegel  and  Walsh  describing  the  nerve-sparing  approach  in  1987.2  With  the  advent  of  minimally  invasive  surgery,  the  first  laparoscopic  radical  cystectomy  (LRC)  was  described  by  Parra  et  al  in  1992,3  and,  in  2003,  Menon  et  al4  demonstrated  the  feasibility  of  robotic-assisted  radical  cystectomy.  Both  of  these  new  techniques  have  proven  to  have  oncologic  equivalency  when  compared  with  the  open  technique.  In  addition,  the  minimally  invasive  approach  offers  improved  perioperative  outcomes  (lower  blood  loss,  shorter  hospital  stay,  and  morbidity),  although  long-term  outcomes  have  shown  only  small  benefits  with  limited  follow-up.5
