Narayan VM, et al. - Researchers compared postoperative complications in female patients who underwent either open or robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder cancer at the MD Anderson Cancer Center from January 2014 to June 2018. They used uni- and multivariable logistic regression and evaluated co-morbidities, pathologic data, and outcomes including complications. Of 122 included patients, 76 underwent open and 46 robotic RC. Findings revealed that a lower risk of transfusion and EBL, and a higher median lymph node yield and operative time were observed in association with the robotic approach in this cohort of women undergoing RC. These outcomes could be attributed to unique anatomic issues in female patients and improved visualization offered by a robotic approach, especially regarding blood loss.
