Article Synopsis
- - The study compared the effectiveness of robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion (RARC + ICUD) to open radical cystectomy (ORC) for treating bladder cancer, analyzing data from 316 patients between 2014 and 2023.
- - Findings showed that RARC + ICUD led to significantly lower risks of complications, blood loss, and hospital stays, and resulted in higher lymph node counts compared to ORC, implying better immediate surgical outcomes.
- - Despite better perioperative results for RARC + ICUD, the long-term cancer-related outcomes, including survival and recurrence rates, were similar between both surgical approaches.
Purpose: The robot-assisted laparoscopic (RALUVR) and open (OUVR) approaches have both been described for ureterovesical reimplantation to treat benign lower ureteral pathologies. Thus, we aimed to compare the perioperative and functional outcomes of RALUVR vs. OUVR.

Materials And Methods: We studied the perioperative and follow-up data of patients who underwent cystectomy for cancer associated with CCUD (Mitrofanoff, Monti or Casale). We retrospectively analyzed complications within 30days and beyond 30days post-surgery.
Background: Periprostatic artificial urinary sphincter implantation (pAUSi) is a rare yet relevant indication for male neurogenic stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
Objective: To describe the surgical technique of robot-assisted pAUSi (RApAUSi) and compare the long-term functional results with the open pAUSi (OpAUSi).
Design, Setting, And Participants: Data of 65 consecutive men with neurogenic SUI undergoing pAUSi between 2000 and 2022 in a tertiary centre were collected retrospectively.
