A world first at the Caen Normandy University Hospital!  

The team of Professor Xavier Tillou , Thibaut Waeckel , Lisa Le 
Bloa from the Urology department performed a robotic radical cystectomy with intracorporeal neobladder in a kidney transplant recipient.

 

Congratulations on this world first 
, a major advancement in urological surgery, which the Caen Normandy University Hospital is proud to share. This procedure, performed using the da Vinci X surgical robot, has provided an innovative and less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. Thanks 
 
to multidisciplinary expertise bringing together the urological surgery, anesthesiology and intensive care, and nephrology teams, this surgery was successfully performed and offers encouraging results, even in complex situations such as this kidney transplant.
