Surgical Margin Status After Robot Assisted Radical Cystectomy: Results From the International Robotic Cystectomy Consortium

Abstract

Positive surgical margin rates at robot assisted radical cystectomy for advanced bladder cancer were similar to those in open cystectomy series in a large, multi-institutional, prospective cohort. Sequential case number, a surrogate for the learning curve and institutional volume were not significantly associated with positive margins at robot assisted radical cystectomy.
