- - Bladder cancer is the 10th most common cancer worldwide, and its incidence is on the rise, with radical cystectomy and urinary diversion being standard treatments for muscle-invasive cases.
- - Urinary diversions are classified into two main types: non-continent (like cutaneous ureterostomy and ileal conduit) and continent, which can include options that require catheterization or allow for normal voiding.
- - The review covers the technical details of various urinary diversion techniques, providing a thorough overview of the alternatives available after radical cystectomy.

The aim of our study was to investigate the preoperative fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) as a preoperative predictor of malignancy as well as advanced grade in patients with bladder cancer. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients who underwent TURBT at our institution between 2017 and 2021 was conducted.

- The study compares robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) and laparoscopic simple prostatectomy (LSP) for treating enlarged prostates, focusing on intraoperative and perioperative outcomes.
- Both procedures were analyzed retrospectively from data collected at two hospitals, including factors like operative time and complications.
- While RASP had a shorter hospital stay, LSP was quicker in terms of operative time, suggesting both methods are safe but may have different logistical advantages.
