Robot assisted radical cystectomy with totally intracorporeal urinary diversion: initial, single-surgeon's experience after a modified modular training

Abstract

Robot-assisted radical cystectomy with totally intracorporeal urinary diversion is a challenging procedure with a steep learning curve. An adequate modular training with an experienced mentor and a skilled robotic team could be essential to reach these optimal results. Further studies investigating the impact of modular learning curve and a dedicated menthorship on operative and functional outcomes after RARC are needed.
