Outcomes of Robotic, Open Cystectomy Compared in Bladder Cancer
Number of days alive and out of hospital within first 90 days greater for robot-assisted surgery, but clinical significance of findings unclear
Cystectomy
Recovery From Radical Cystectomy Takes 3 to 6 Months
No difference seen in percentage of patients recovering at each time point for robot-assisted versus open radical cystectomy
Kidney Function Not Worse After RC With Continent Diversion in Stage 3a CKD
In a study, approximately half of patients with and without stage 3a CKD maintained their renal function after orthotopic neobladder formation.
Radical Cystectomy vs Trimodal Tx for cT3 MIBC May Offer Better Survival
Increasing T stage has been associated with reduced long-term survival after trimodal therapy.
Radical Cystectomy May Improve Survival in Node-Positive Bladder Cancer
The findings should prompt further prospective trials on the benefit of radical cystectomy along with standard of care in this population, according to investigators.
VTE Readmissions Can Occur Months After Cancer Surgery
Major complications after cancer surgery doubled the odds of a late readmission for venous thromboembolism.
Higher-Than-Expected Post-Cystectomy Vaginal Complication Rate Reported
The risk of developing a vaginal complication was 2.3-fold higher in women undergoing cystectomy for non-urologic cancers vs bladder cancer, a study found.
Post-NAC CT Correlates Poorly With Final Pathology at Radical Cystectomy
Computed tomography scans following neoadjuvant chemotherapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer does not accurately predict disease burden prior to radical cystectomy.
More Extensive Lymph Node Dissection Beneficial in NMIBC
Investigators proposed that lymph node dissection should be included as part of radical cystectomy for patients with NMIBC.
Nutrition Tool May Identify Older Adults at Risk for Post-RC Complications
There is a need for an easy and objective tool to assess malnutrition prior to urologic surgery.
