Abstract

BACKGROUND: There is paucity of data about functional outcomes of Robot-assisted Radical Cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder (ICON), and the impact of learning curve (LC) on those outcomes remains to be addressed. The aim of this study was to report long-term functional outcomes of our single center series of RARC with ICON, assessing the role of LC in their achievement.
