Current role of robotic bladder cancer surgery.

Introduction: Radical cystectomy (RC) is one of the most complex and morbid surgical procedures in urology, that is not devoid of postoperative complications. Minimally invasive surgery, and especially robot-assisted RC (RARC) has emerged as an alternative to open RC (ORC) in an attempt to minimize surgical morbidity and facilitate the surgical approach. The aim of this paper was to present the current knowledge on the oncological efficacy and complication outcomes of RARC.
