Medical Conditions - Radical Cystectomy

Radical cystectomy is the full surgical removal of the bladder often used to treat invasive bladder cancer. In this surgical procedure, surgeons remove the whole bladder and nearby lymph nodes. In males, radical cystectomy typically includes the removal of the prostate and seminal vesicles. However, in women, it involves the removal of the uterus, ovaries, and part of the vagina. The surgery may pose some risks, including bleeding, blood clots, infection, organ damage, and reactions to anesthesia.
