- The study compared robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) to open radical cystectomy (ORC) in terms of surgical and cancer outcomes using specific criteria called trifecta and pentafecta.
- Data from 41 patients undergoing RARC were compared to 330 patients who had ORC, focusing on factors like surgical margins, complications, and cancer recurrence.
- While there were no significant differences in success rates between the two methods, RARC demonstrated a notable advantage with less blood loss during surgery.
