Özet
In this article, the management of nursing care in robotic cystectomy and urinary diversion surgeries, which are performed for treating bladder cancer, is explained considering the current literature. Bladder cancer is a type of cancer that is highly prevalent worldwide, and it is seen more frequently in men than in women. Radical cystectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy are the reference treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and they play a key role in managing high-risk nonmuscle-invasive cancer and saving the patient following radiotherapy. While radical cystectomy involves the removal of the bladder, urethra, uterus, Fallopian tubes, ovaries, and anterior vagina in women, it involves the removal of the bladder, urethra, prostate, and seminal glands in men. Urinary diversion performed following robotic cystectomy is a curative surgical method associated with functional and metabolic changes that could affect the patient as well as the quality of life of the patient. Urinary diversions performed following removal of the cancerous bladder aim to divert the urinary flow toward its normal path or form a new path for urine to be released directly or by accumulation. In robotic cystectomy and urinary diversion surgeries, the role of the nurse in the management of the preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative stages is highly important. The optimal management of nursing care and nurse training programs, especially for the postoperative period, aims to increase the quality of life of the patient by preventing complications, shortening their hospital stay, and organizing their activities of daily living.
