Abstract:

The past decade has witnessed a dramatic increase in utilization of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC). RARC has been shown to offer some perioperative benefits in terms of blood loss, transfusion rates, hospital stay, and recovery when compared with its open counterpart without jeopardizing oncologic outcomes. In this article, we review the indications, perioperative care, and describe the "Technique of Spaces" of RARC employed at our institution, and highlight the key steps for male RARC.
