Patients And Methods: Patients who underwent RARC because of bladder cancer or recurrent carcinoma in situ from June 2009 until August 2020 at Herlev and Gentofte Hospital were prospectively and consecutively included. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to estimate recurrence-free survival (RFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS).
In this case report, a 58-year-old male with comorbidities of BMI 41 kg/m2, hypertension and diabetes type 2 underwent radical cystectomy. The operation was performed in 30-degree Trendelenburg and lasted > 7 hours with a total blood loss of 850 ml. The patient presented with painless bilateral vision loss upon awakening.
