ABSTRACT

Recently, there is an increasing interest and wide spreading use on robot assisted surgeries. In this review, we aimed to discuss perioperative and oncological results of the robot assisted radical cystectomy. Several advantages like reduced blood loss, less analgesic requirement and better cosmetic results were achieved with robot assisted radical cystectomy. Although short and medium term oncological results are comparable with the open series; long-term oncological results are still awaited.
