Radical Cystectomy involves the surgical removal of the urinary bladder along with surrounding organs and nearby lymph nodes. In male patients, this procedure typically includes the removal of the prostate and seminal vesicles. In female patients, it generally involves the removal of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and the anterior wall of the vagina.

Following Radical Cystectomy, an Ileal Conduit is commonly used as a method of urinary diversion, particularly in cases of bladder cancer. This technique utilizes a short segment of the ileum to create a passage for urine to exit the body. The urine flows through this conduit to an everted stoma on the abdominal wall, where it is collected externally in a stoma appliance.
