Abstract

BACKGROUND: Open radical cystectomy (ORC) is still considered the reference approach for RC, although robot-assisted RC (RARC) has recently gained in popularity. There are literature reports on perioperative and oncologic outcomes of RARC, but functional outcomes and aspects related to health-related quality of life (HRQoL) remain unexplored.
