METHODS Prospective Randomized Clinical trial evaluating the HRQOL using the FACT-VCI for ORC versus RARC in consecutive patients from July 2009 to June 2011. RESULTS To date 47 patients had met inclusion criteria, with 40 patients being randomized for analysis. The groups consisted of 20 ORC and 20 RARC, each similar with regards to age, sex, race, BMI, comorbidities (ASA), previous abdominal procedures, type of urinary diversion, perioperative chemotherapy, length of stay, and final pathologic stage. We administered the FACT-VCI HRQOL preoperatively and then at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively. We noted a return to baseline at 3 months postoperatively in all measured domains with no statistically significant difference between the robotic and open groups. CONCLUSIONS There are no differences in the HRQOL outcomes between ORC and RARC with return of quality of life to baseline 3 months after radical cystectomy. © 2014FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 191Issue 4SApril 2014Page: e145-e146 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2014MetricsAuthor Information Jamie Messer More articles by this author John Fitzgerald More articles by this author Robert Svatek More articles by this author Dipen Parekh More articles by this author Expand All Advertisement Advertisement PDF downloadLoading ...
