A 30-day course of prophylactic antibiotics following robot-assisted radical cystectomy significantly reduces the incidence of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and related complications, researchers ...

For adults with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) or interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), robot-assisted laparoscopic supratrigonal cystectomy with augmentation ...

Extended oral antibiotic prophylaxis eliminated UTIs after robot-assisted radical cystectomy procedures. Prophylactic antibiotics reduced overall infections by two-thirds and saved $9,000 per patient.

Robotic surgery for bladder cancer speeds recovery, reduces pain, and improves quality of life. It also significantly reduces risks such as blood clots and can preserve functions like sexual health.

RARC with intracorporeal urinary diversion offers survival outcomes similar to those of open radical cystectomy, but is associated with better perioperative outcomes. Real-world data support the ...

Robot-assisted partial cystectomy following neoadjuvant chemotherapy in selected patients may be a bladder-preserving option for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Robot-assisted partial ...

—A retrospective real-world study of patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer showed that robot-assisted and laparoscopic radical cystectomy reduce post-surgical complication rates, compared to ...
