Abstract
Interest in RARC has increased in recent years, and, as in other areas of urology in which robotics has taken hold, enthusiasm and early adoption have been largely based on the belief that robotics can improve the outcomes. Short-term Patient-reported Quality of Life After Robot-assisted Radical Cystectomy Using the Convalescence and Recovery EvaluationUrologyVol. 79Issue 6PreviewTo determine the short-term health status of patients after robot-assisted radical cystectomy using the Convalescence and Recovery Evaluation (CARE). Radical cystectomy and urinary diversion in patients with invasive bladder cancer can have a significant effect on patients' quality of life.
