Abstract

"The robotic approach for radical cystectomy has become increasingly adopted by the urologic oncology community, as it has been shown to have equivalent oncologic outcomes with shorter hospital stay and fewer perioperative transfusions. Consensus guidelines from expert surgeons have been published to provide guidance on all aspects of how to implement the robotic approach in the urologic oncology clinic."

Keywords: Bladder cancer; Minimally invasive surgery; Radical cystectomy; Robotic surgery.
