Abstract
Abstract Purpose: To identify patients who would benefit from robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC), we report perioperative outcomes and complications. Patients and Methods: We compared patients who underwent RARC to patients who underwent open cystectomy (OC) in our institution. Data included demographics, operative variables, and recovery. Complications were grouped into early ( 90 days). Results: There were 58 patients in the RARC group and 84 patients in the OC group. The mean age was 66±1.2 years in the RARC v 67±1.2 in OC (p=0.53) group. Women constituted 21% in the RARC and 30% in OC (p=0.23) group. The mean American Society of Anesthesiologists scores were 2.9 for the RARC and 2.94 for OC (p=0.5). The mean operative time for RARC was 7.8±1.5 hours v 6.6±1.25 hours for OC (p<0.0001). Estimated blood loss was 276±48 mL in RARC v 1522±369 mL in OC (p<0.0001). Positive margin rate was 7% in RARC v 8% in OC (p=0.8). Early complications of any severity...
