The most common cause is respiratory compromise.
Current and former smokers are at higher risk of complications within 30 days after radical prostatectomy or cystectomy.
In a Canadian study, long wait times before a first urologist visit was associated with a 29% higher risk of death after radical cystectomy.
These include patients with positive lymph nodes and surgical margins after cystectomy.
Recurrence-free survival was 66 percent at five years for patients with bladder cancer who had laparoscopic radical cystectomy.
A 15-feature ‘genomic classifier’ surpassed the prognostic potential of standard clinical variables for bladder cancer risk.
Study shows a significantly better 5-year cancer-specific survival rate compared with radical cystectomy.
Their risk of death is 40% lower than that of patients who are not obese, study shows.
Venous thromboembolism is more likely to occur in patients with neurologic comorbidities and increased operative time.
