BACKGROUND: With the development of minimally invasive surgery technology, patients with bladder cancer are increasingly receiving laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) or robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) treatment. The main purpose of this...
Benign ureteroenteric anastomosis strictures (UESs) are one of many critical complications that may cause irreversible disability following robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC). Previous studies have shown that the incidence rates of UES after RA...
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) ...

PURPOSE: To systematically review studies comparing the perioperative outcomes of intracorporeal robot-assisted radical cystectomy (iRARC) and open radical cystectomy (ORC).
BACKGROUND: Ileal anastomosis is imperative in patients given a urinary diversion during radical cystectomy. Proper handling and staplers with a certain length are important to prevent stenosis of the bowel. The study aim was to compare the circumfer...
To present our preliminary experiences of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical or partial cystectomy for bladder/prostate rhabdomyosarcoma (B/P RMS) in children. A retrospective study was conducted with children who underwent robot-assisted laparosc...
Bladder endometriosis accounts for 70%-85% cases of urinary tract endometriosis. A high index of suspicion is needed to diagnose this condition as most women have associated pelvic and menstrual complaints. The presence of cyclical haematuria along w...
BACKGROUND: Radical cystectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection is the recommended treatment in non-metastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). In randomised trials, robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) showed non-inferior short-term oncol...
BACKGROUND: Radical cystectomy (RC) is the standard treatment for bladder cancer, but the safety and efficacy of this treatment for elderly people need to be considered. We compare perioperative data and survival outcomes between elderly (≥80 years) ...
