"The robotic approach for radical cystectomy has become increasingly adopted by the urologic oncology community, as it has been shown to have equivalent oncologic outcomes with shorter hospital stay and fewer perioperative transfusions. Consensus guidelines from expert surgeons have been published to provide guidance on all aspects of how to implement the robotic approach in the urologic oncology clinic."

Background And Objective: There is an established association between secondary bladder cancers (SBCs) and radiotherapy (RT) for prostate cancer (PC), which remains a significant concern. Our aim was to update the evidence on SBC incidence across different RT modalities and to compare oncological outcomes for patients diagnosed with SBC to those diagnosed with primary bladder cancer (PBC).

Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science for studies on SBC following PC.

Purpose: To investigate the association of diabetes mellitus and metformin use with metabolic acidosis risk after radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion for bladder cancer.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study used TriNetX Research Network data. Patients undergoing RC with continent diversion or ileal conduit for bladder cancer were identified using International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) and ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) codes.

Background: Radical cystectomy has the potential to be a curative strategy for patients with aggressive bladder cancer. Emerging evidence over the last 20 years has shown that minimally invasive surgical approaches using robotics in performing this highly complex and morbid operation can achieve the same oncological outcomes while reducing complications for the patient.

Objective: This paper aims to present a managerial and leadership roadmap for change to robotic cystectomy for patients with advanced bladder cancer to achieve improved patient outcomes while embracing technological developments in the delivery of cancer care.

Association of Prehabilitation in the Precystectomy Pathway in Patients With Bladder Cancer on Postoperative Outcomes.

Purpose: Prehabilitation in patients with bladder cancer recommended for cystectomy has the potential to improve functional status and outcomes after cystectomy. Prior research has shown that increasing exercise preoperatively can improve strength and quality of life, but research has not yet investigated the impact on length of stay, readmissions, complications and mortality.

Methods: We compared historical controls (2021-2022) for patients with bladder cancer who underwent radical cystectomy at a major academic center to those referred for prehabilitation consultation (2023) on postoperative outcomes, namely hospital length of stay, 30 and 90 day readmission rates, postoperative complications and 90-day mortality.

Objective: To assess 30- and 90-day postoperative complication rates in patients who underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) after receiving novel immunotherapy-based neoadjuvant treatment.

Methods: A bi-centre analysis was conducted in patients who underwent RARC with intracorporeal urinary diversion and who received an immunotherapy-based neoadjuvant regimen between 2017 and 2023. Complications were classified using the Clavien-Dindo system.
