Abstract
Radical cystectomy (RC) is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality despite adoption of robotics and implementation of enhanced recovery after surgery protocols. There have been increased efforts to investigate preoperative optimization through comprehensive nutritional evaluation, preoperative supplementation, and prehabilitation outside of previously described enhanced recovery after surgery protocols to reduce mortality and morbidity from RC. In this review, we summarize and evaluate the current literature on preoperative assessment and optimization in RC.
