Article Synopsis
- * During the procedure, doctors make punctures above the ureterocele while using specific tools like cystoscopes and metallic needles, sometimes utilizing lasers for decompression.
- * A study showed that 92% of patients underwent endoscopic treatment, with an 83% success rate in achieving the desired decompression after one procedure, though careful handling is needed to avoid complications like reflux.
Despite the advent of robotics and the decreasing rate of complications after radical cystectomy, several factors are renowned to impair the early outcomes of this procedure. The aim of this paper is to provide a multivariate analysis (MVA) of patient and surgical procedure-related variables likely to affect postoperative course and 30-day complication rate. Fifty-five robotic-assisted radical cystectomies (RARCs) performed at a single center from July 2021 to March 2023 were enrolled.

Recent Findings: Physical, psychological, and cognitive sequelae after critical illness are frequent, durable, and robust across the international ICU outcome literature. Elderly patients are more vulnerable to the multisystem sequelae of critical illness and its treatment and the resultant multidimensional morbidity may be profound, chronic, and significantly affect functional independence, transition to the community, and quality of life for patients and families.
