Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To report the preliminary surgical outcomes for single incision robotic cystectomy (SIRC). Robotic cystectomy is associated with low utilization rates of orthotopic neobladders due to challenges related to intracorporeal sowing and configuration. A new technique that shortens the learning curve and reduces the incisional footprint may improve outcomes and lead to greater utilization of neobladders.
