Radical cystectomy
A radical cystectomy, usually used to treat cancer, is a complete removal of the bladder, parts of the nearby urethra, surrounding lymph nodes and surrounding organs. This may include the prostate in men. In women, this may include the uterus, cervix, fallopia tubes, and part of the vagina.
