Background: Recent small case series have now been reported for robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy. The majority of these series have reported techniques and outcomes in a predominantly male patient population. The application of such novel techniques to female cystectomy and anterior exenterative procedures has not been well documented and described.

Herein, we describe our approach and initial experience with robotic-assisted laparoscopic anterior pelvic exenteration in the female patient with bladder cancer.
Methods: We describe the technique of robotic-assisted laparoscopic anterior pelvic exenteration.
