Treatment of Bladder Cancer depends on several factors:

• The type, stage, and grade of bladder cancer.
• Possible side effects and expected complications.
• Patient’s preferences and overall health condition of patient

Minimal Invasive Surgery for Bladder Cancer : 

It is one of the most widely used treatments for treating bladder cancer.

• Transurethral Resection-  For the majority of tumors, transurethral resection is the primary treatment. Tumors are removed through the urethra using an endoscope that has a special tool on the end for cutting tissue. This is a minimally invasive surgical procedure.

• Radical Cystectomy – In most of the locally advanced tumours, the surgery is called radical cystectomy where the entire bladder and some adjoining structures are removed. This operation requires some form of urinary diversion for the urine to come out through a new pathway. In certain less advanced tumours, a partial cystectomy may be sufficient where only a part of the bladder will be removed.

Robotic Surgery For Bladder Cancer Treatment

It allows doctors to perform many types of complex procedures with more precision, control and flexibility than what is possible with conventional surgical techniques. Advantages of robotic techniques – Highly Precise , No major cut, Lesser Blood loss, tissue handling and Tissue Trauma, Quicker healing time, Reduced duration of hospital Stay, Early return of Urine control and erections, Excellent Cancer Cure Rates.

Radiation Therapy –

Radiotherapy is a local treatment meant to destroy only malignant cells by focusing high-energy rays on the bladder. The radiation is similar to that used for diagnostic X-rays, only at a higher dose. Radiotherapy alone or in combination with chemotherapy is an alternative to surgery where the patient wants to conserve his bladder.
