[A place of robot-assisted cystectomy in treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer].

Bladder cancer occupies one of the leading positions in morbidity in the world and constitutes a serious problem for healthcare system. The muscle-invasive bladder cancer is the most aggressive and more difficult to treat with drug therapy. Radical cystectomy is the standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, with the most commonly used open approach. Currently, there is an active intro...
