Abstract

INTRODUCTION: To clarify the safety and efficacy of en bloc simultaneous robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (LNU) for synchronous muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma and upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) or UTUC of a solitary kidney, we evaluated the perioperative and short-term outcomes of this surgical procedure compared with those of simultaneous open radical cystectomy and nephroureterectomy.
