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.

Introduction: Recent small case series have now been reported for robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy. 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.
