BACKGROUND: Blood transfusions (BT) have been associated with adverse oncologic outcomes in multiple malignancies including open radical cystectomy (ORC) for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB). Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with int...

INTRODUCTION: Robotic approach has shown its feasibility and safety with respect to open approach for radical cystectomy (1). The performances of HugoTM RAS system (Medtronic, Minneapolis, USA) have been demonstrated in several clinical scenarios (2-...
In the last two decades, surgical techniques for intracorporeal urinary diversion have been developed with the aim of reducing surgical morbidity. Although increasing constantly, the numbers of urologists offering intracorporeal neobladder reconstruc...
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder creation is a complex surgical procedure, which is gradually becoming an alternative to open surgery.
IMPORTANCE: Robot-assisted radical cystectomy is being performed with increasing frequency, but it is unclear whether total intracorporeal surgery improves recovery compared with open radical cystectomy for bladder cancer.

We describe two cases of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) treated with robot-assisted total pelvic exenteration (Ra-TPE) and intracorporeal ileal conduit (ICIC). The first case was in a 71-year-old man with LARC (RbP, T4bN2bM0, cStage IIIc). He ...

OBJECTIVE: Robotic intracorporeal neobladder reconstruction is a complex procedure in which the approximation of the reservoir to the urethral stump can be a demanding step. The aim of the study is to evaluate the reproducibility of a modified poster...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Radical cystectomy is a complex procedure that encompasses surgery involving the urinary, gastrointestinal tracts and the retroperitoneum, with significant morbidity. Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) has been introduced to ...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This article aims to discuss recently published (2019-2021) studies on robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with attention to evidence comparing intracorporeal (ICUD) and extracorporeal urinary diversion (ECUD) in terms of intr...
Radical cystectomy is the standard of care for patients with nonmetastatic high-risk bladder cancer. Robotic approach to radical cystectomy has been developed to reduce perioperative morbidities and enhance postoperative recovery while maintaining on...
