What is a robotic laparoscopic radical cystectomy with urinary diversion?

This is the latest minimally invasive treatment option available for patients with localized muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The robotic laparoscopic procedure offers advantages over open radical cystectomy (removal of the bladder using a relatively large abdominal incision) in that there is a quicker recovery time and only a few small Band-Aid™ sized incisions.
