Abstract

Radical cystectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection and urinary diversion is critical in the treatment for bladder cancer. Even though open radical cystectomy (ORC) is still the most common procedure done in the US, adoption of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) has increased significantly in the last decade. Robotic cystectomy improves perioperative outcomes while maintaining cancer control. 1 Bochner BH Dalbagni G Marzouk KH et al.
