- Original description
Currently, in the treatment of bladder cancer the use of robotics has entered in clinical practice, therefor robotic radical cystectomy with or without reconstruction is offered to patients during counseling procedures, if deemed appropriate and possible. The aim of the study is therefore the long-term evaluation of the peri-post-operative, oncological and functional results of patients undergoing radical cystectomy, both with an open and robotic approach. This study will thus help to clarify the actual impact of robotic surgeryRead full original descriptionShow less
Impact of Robotic Surgery on Post-operative Outcomes of Patients Who Underwent Radical Cystectomy
Currently, in the treatment of bladder cancer the use of robotics has entered in clinical practice, therefor robotic radical cystectomy with or without reconstruction is offered to patients during counseling procedures, if deemed appropriate and possible. The aim of the study is therefore the long-term evaluation of the peri-post-operative, oncological and functional results of patients undergoing radical cystectomy, both with an open and robotic approach. This study will thus help to clarify the actual impact of robotic surgery
Inclusion: Age major or equal 18 years; Patients who will undergo radical cystectomy; Consent to participate.
Exclusion: Absence of willingness to participate; Further refusal to participate to the study.
