To summarize the current evidence on robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) and compare perioperative outcomes and postoperative complications of patients undergoing RARC with extracorporeal urinary div...
To describe urinary tract infections (UTIs) after robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and investigate the variables associated with it. A retrospective review of 616 patients who underwent RARC between 2005 and 2019 was performed. Patients wer...
To compare surgical, oncologic, functional outcomes and complication rate between intracorporeal neobladder (ICNB) and extracorporeal neobladder (ECNB) orthotopic ileal neobladder of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) in patients with nonmetas...
BACKGROUND: There is paucity of data about functional outcomes of Robot-assisted Radical Cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder (ICON), and the impact of learning curve (LC) on those outcomes remains to be addressed. The aim of t...
BACKGROUND: Augmentation cystoplasty as a third-line therapy for neurogenic detrusor overactivity performed by an open approach has long been studied. Few laparoscopic and robot-assisted series have been reported.
We sought to identify the factors associated with deterioration of renal functions after robot-assisted radical cystectomy, and to develop a nomogram to detect the probability of progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). A retrospective review o...
The EAU guidelines panel on muscle-invasive and metastatic bladder cancer (MIBC) recently recommended open radical cystectomy (ORC) as the best surgical approach for MIBC patients. We critically re-examine the indications for considering ORC as the f...
