Early and Late Complications of Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy: A Standardized Analysis by Urinary Diversion Type

Abstract

Open or minimally invasive cystectomy is a complex, morbid procedure. Urinary diversion is a significant contributor to complications, as is patient comorbidity. Although patients with an ileal conduit had more comorbidities, they experienced fewer complications than those with an orthotopic bladder substitute or Indiana pouch diversion.
