To evaluate the perioperative outcomes of robot-assisted cystectomy in previous pelvic irradiation patients. We performed a systematic review with a single-arm meta-analysis, searching the PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane databases through July 2024. Included studies reported perioperative outcomes of robot-assisted radical cystectomy in patients with prior pelvic irradiation.

Article Synopsis
- This study analyzes the safety of two insufflation systems (conventional vs. Valveless) used in laparoscopic robotic surgery, focusing on complications like pneumothorax and subcutaneous emphysema.
- A literature search gathered data from various databases, ultimately including three studies with a total of 478 patients in the meta-analysis.
- Results showed no significant differences in complications between the AirSealTM and conventional insufflation systems in maintaining pneumoperitoneum pressure.
