A new review shows no significant differences in oncologic outcomes, long-term complications, and health-related quality of life between robot-assisted and open radical cystectomy.
Worse Survival After Robotic Cystectomy Seen at Low-Volume Centers
The researchers found lower overall survival among patients undergoing robot-assisted radical cystectomy at hospitals performing 10 or fewer procedures during 2010 to 2012.
Predictors of Post-RARP Readmission Identified
Patients with longer hospital stays and pre-discharge complications were at increased risk of readmission within 30 days of discharge.
