OBJECTIVE The laparoscopic approach in urology is now an accepted option for kidney, adrenal, and prostate surgery. We review the current experience with laparoscopic radical cystectomy to identify its role in oncological bladder surgery. RESULTS Pure laparoscopic techniques are being employed for the extirpative portion of laparoscopic radical cystectomy at multiple institutions. Various extracorporeal and intracorporeal techniques are evolving for the reconstructive procedures necessary for urinary diversion. Worldwide experience continues to accumulate with over 150 cases already having been performed. CONCLUSIONS With the gradual growth and experience in laparoscopic radical cystectomy, along with continuing refinements in technique, laparoscopic radical cystectomy is now being performed at many centers worldwide. Long-term oncological and functional outcome data are necessary to determine its proper role for patients with bladder cancer.

D014547	Urinary Diversion	Temporary or permanent diversion of the flow of urine through the ureter away from the URINARY BLADDER in the presence of a bladder disease or after cystectomy.
