Robot-assisted radical cystectomy: Review of surgical technique, and perioperative, oncological and functional outcomes

Ahmed S Elsayed et al. Int J Urol. 2020 Mar.

Abstract

Since the introduction of robot-assisted radical cystectomy, efforts have been made to meet the standards in terms of perioperative safety and oncological efficacy. Several randomized controlled studies and meta-analyses, and multi-institutional studies have shown comparable outcomes of robot-assisted radical cystectomy when compared with the conventional open approach. In this review, we aimed to describe the surgical technique of robot-assisted radical cystectomy and urinary diversion, and perioperative, pathological, oncological and functional outcomes.

Keywords: functional outcomes; perioperative outcomes; radical cystectomy; robot-assisted; survival outcomes.
