Abstract
PURPOSE Aim of this study is to investigate the association between DM and oncological outcomes among patients with muscle-invasive (MI) or high-risk non-muscle invasive (NMI) bladder cancer (BC) who underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion (RARC). METHODS An IRB approved multi-institutional BC database was queried, including patients underwent RARC between January 2013 and June 2023. Patients were divided into two groups according to DM status. Baseline, clinical, perioperative, pathologic data were compared. Chi-square and Student t tests were performed to compare categorical and continuous variables, respectively. Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analyses were performed to assess the association between DM and oncologic outcomes. RESULTS Out of 547 consecutive patients, 97 (17.7%) had DM. The two cohorts showed similar preoperative features, except for ASA score (p = 0.01) and Hypertension rates (p < 0.001). No differences were detected for perioperative complications, pT stage, pN stages and surgical margins status (all p > 0.12). DM patients displayed significantly lower 5-yr disease-free survival (DFS) (44.6% vs. 63.3%, p = 0.007), 5-yr cancer-specific survival (CSS) (45.1% vs. 70.1%, p = 0.001) and 5-yr Overall survival (OS) (39.9% vs. 63.8%, p = 0.001). At Multivariable Cox-regression analyses DM status was identified as independent predictor of worse cancer-specific survival (CSS) (HR 2.1; p = 0.001) and overall survival (OS) (HR 2.05; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Among BC patients who underwent RARC, DM patients showed worse oncologic outcomes than the non-DM patients, with DM status playing an independent negative predicting role in CSS and OS. Future prospective studies are awaited, stimulating basic and translational research to identify possible mechanisms of interaction between DM and BC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the impact of the learning curve (LC) on perioperative and long-term functional outcomes of a consecutive single-centre series of robot-assisted radical cystectomy with Padua intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients treated between 2013 and 2022 were included, with ≥1 year of follow-up. The entire cohort was divided in tertiles. Categorical and continuous variables were compared. Joinpoint regression analysis was used to identify significant changes over the decade in linear slope of the 1-year day- and night-time continence. Uni- and multivariable Cox regression analyses identified predictors of day- and night-time continence recovery. Day-time continence was defined as 'totally dry' (no pads), night-time continence as pad wetness ≤50 mL (one safety pad). RESULTS Overall, 200 patients were included. The mean hospital stay (P = 0.002) and 30-day complications (P = 0.04) significantly reduced over time; the LC significantly impacted on Trifecta achievement (P < 0.001). The 1-year day- and night-time continence probabilities displayed a significant improving trend (day-time continence annual average percentage change [AAPC] 11.45%, P < 0.001; night-time continence AAPC 10.05%, P = 0.009). The LC was an independent predictor of day- (hazard ratio [HR] 1.008; P < 0.001) and night-time continence (HR 1.004; P = 0.03) over time. CONCLUSION Patients at the beginning of the LC had significantly longer hospitalisations, more postoperative complications, and lower Trifecta rates. At the 10-year analyses, we observed a significant improving trend for both the 1-year day- and night-time continence probabilities, highlighting the crucial role of the LC. However, we are unable to assess the case volume needed to achieve a plateau in terms of day- and night-time continence rates.

Abstract
Bladder cancer ranks as the 10th most prevalent cancer globally with an increasing incidence. Radical cystectomy combined with urinary diversion represents the standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, offering a range of techniques tailored to patient factors. Overall, urinary diversions are divided into non-continent and continent. Among the first category, cutaneous ureterostomy and ileal conduit represent the most common procedures while in the second category, it could be possible to describe another subclassification which includes ureterosigmoidostomy, continent diversions requiring catheterization and orthotopic voiding pouches and neobladders. In this comprehensive review, urinary diversions are described in their technical aspects, providing a summary of almost all alternatives to urinary diversion post-radical cystectomy.

Assessing Trifecta and Pentafecta Success Rates between Robot-Assisted vs. Open Radical Cystectomy: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:1270.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the surgical and oncological outcomes of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) versus open radical cystectomy (ORC) using trifecta and pentafecta parameters. METHODS The clinical data of 41 patients who underwent RARC between 2018 and 2022 were prospectively collected and retrospectively compared to those of 330 patients undergoing ORC using 1:1 propensity score matching. Trifecta was defined as simultaneous negative surgical margins (SMs), a lymph node (LN) yield ≥ 16, and the absence of major complications (Clavien-Dindo grade III-V) within 90 days postoperatively. Pentafecta additionally included a 12-month recurrence-free rate and a time between the transurethral resection of a bladder tumor (TURBT) and radical cystectomy (RC) ≤ 3 months. The continuous variables were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test, and the categorical variables were analyzed using the chi-squared test. RESULTS No statistically significant differences in trifecta and pentafecta success rates were observed between the RARC and ORC cohorts after propensity score matching. However, the RARC group exhibited significantly reduced blood loss (RARC: 317 mL vs. ORC: 525 mL, p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS RARC offers distinct advantages over ORC in terms of reduced blood loss, while trifecta and pentafecta success rates do not differ significantly between the two surgical approaches.

The feasibility of an exercise intervention after robotic-assisted radical cystectomy for urinary bladder cancer, prior to the CanMoRe trial. Pilot Feasibility Stud 2024; 10:12. [PMID: 38254174 PMCID: PMC10802056 DOI: 10.1186/s40814-024-01443-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2021] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Complications after radical cystectomy for urinary bladder cancer are common. Physical activity after surgery is thought to reduce complications. However, patients with urinary bladder cancer have low levels of physical activity, and interventions supporting physical exercise are needed. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a physical exercise intervention in primary health care. One of the aims of the larger clinical trial will be to reduce complications. METHODS Patients with urinary bladder cancer and who were scheduled for a robotic-assisted radical cystectomy were recruited from Karolinska University Hospital, between February and May 2019. The patients had to be mobile, understand Swedish, and live in Stockholm. The exercise programme was conducted at one primary health care setting over 12 weeks. The exercise programme included supervised aerobic and strengthening exercises, which were performed twice a week, as well as daily walks. Feasibility was measured with process feasibility, including eligibility criteria, adherence, and acceptability, and scientific feasibility, including the ability of outcomes to indicate change, safety, and progression in the exercise programme. RESULTS Ten patients with a median age of 70 years (min 53-max 86) were included. Adherence to all parts of the intervention was not feasible because of patients' postoperative complications, resulting in dropouts. For the patients who took part in the exercise programme, adherence and acceptability for the exercise period were feasible, but the 6-min walk test was not feasible at discharge from the hospital. Physiotherapists in the primary health care setting perceived the process as feasible. Moreover, the ability of outcomes to indicate change and progression in the exercise programme was feasible, meanwhile no adverse events were registered. CONCLUSIONS The exercise intervention was feasible for the patients that took part in the exercise programme, with respect to safety and progression through the exercise programme. Furthermore, this study suggests that some improvements needed to be implemented in the process, prior to the upcoming randomised controlled trial.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the oncological and perioperative outcomes from a large, single-centre, robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) cohort performed with intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients who underwent RARC because of bladder cancer or recurrent carcinoma in situ from June 2009 until August 2020 at Herlev and Gentofte Hospital were prospectively and consecutively included. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to estimate recurrence-free survival (RFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS). A Cox proportional hazards model was used to identify individual predictors of outcomes. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of high-grade complications (Clavien-Dindo Grade ≥III). RESULTS A total of 542 patients were included. The median (interquartile range) follow-up was 5.3 (2.73-8.06) years. In all, 78 patients (14%) were converted to open surgery; 15 (3%) during cystectomy and 63 patients (12%) were converted from ICUD to extracorporeal urinary diversion. The 5-year RFS, CSS and OS rates were 63% (95% confidence interval [CI] 59%-68%), 75% (95% CI 72%-80%) and 67% (95% CI 63%-72%), respectively. Pathological non-organ-confined disease (tumour stage >T2 or positive lymph nodes) predicted poorer RFS, CSS and OS. Reconstruction with a neobladder (20% of cases) compared to an ileal conduit was the only predictor of high-grade complications (odds ratio 2.54, 95% CI 1.46-4.43; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION A RARC with ICUD is feasible as a standard surgical procedure for bladder cancer with only a few patients converted to open surgery. In our hands reconstruction with a neobladder was a strong predictor for high-grade complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report long-term oncologic and functional outcomes of a large consecutive single center series of Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC)- intracorporeal (IC) Urinary Diversion (UD), identifying their predicting factors. METHODS A single center Bladder cancer (BC) database was queried for "RARC" and "ICUD", including patients treated between January 2012 and September 2020. Kaplan-Meier curves were assessed disease-free (DFS), cancer-specific (CSS) and overall survival (OS) probability. Univariable (UV) and multivariable (MV) analysis were adopted to identify predictors of DFS, CSS and OS. Kaplan-Meier method evaluated day- and night-time continence recovery probabilities; UV and MV analysis were adopted to identify predictors of Day-time continence. RESULTS Overall, 251 patients were included. Among them, 192 patients underwent intracorporeal ileal orthotopic neobladder (ION) (76.5%). Five-year DFS, CSS and OS rates were 66.5%, 65.4% and 61.5%; pT stage ≥ 3 and pathologic nodal involvement were identified as negative independent predictors of DFS (HR 2.39, p = 0.001, HR 4.64, p ≤ 0.001), CSS (HR 2.20, p = 0.01, HR 3.97, p < 0.001) and OS (HR 2.25, p = 0.005, HR 3.95, p < 0.001). In RARC-ION patients, Trifecta rate was 64.1%. One-year day- and night-time continence rates were 78.6% and 48.3%. Age (HR 0.98, p = 0.03), female gender (HR 0.57, p = 0.008) and complications Clavien grade ≥ 3 (HR 0.55, p = 0.03) were identified as independent predictors of day-time incontinence. CONCLUSIONS Long-term oncologic outcomes and their predicting factors seem aligned to the largest historical open series and multi-institutional robotic series data. According to the identified predicting factors undermining a proper achievement of day-time continence, this represents an objective support, in order to properly advice specific sub-group of patients.

Combined Modality Bladder-Sparing Therapy for Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer: How (Should) We Do It? A Narrative Review. J Clin Med 2023; 12:1560. [PMID: 36836093 PMCID: PMC9960746 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12041560] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Organ-sparing combined-modality treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer remains underutilized despite high-quality evidence regarding its efficacy, safety, and preservation of quality of life. It may be offered to patients unwilling to undergo radical cystectomy, as well as those unfit for neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery. The treatment plan should be tailored to each patient's characteristics, with more intensive protocols offered to patients who are fit for surgery but opt for organ-sparing. After a thorough, debulking transurethral resection of the tumor and neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the response evaluation should trigger further management with either chemoradiation or early cystectomy in non-responders. A hypofractionated, continuous radiotherapy regimen of 55 Gy in 20 fractions with concurrent radiosensitizing chemotherapy with gemcitabine, cisplatin, or 5-fluorouracil and mitomycin C is currently preferred based on clinical trials. The response should be evaluated with repeated transurethral resections of the tumor bed and abdominopelvic-computed tomography after chemoradiation, with quarterly assessments during the first year. Salvage cystectomy should be offered to patients fit for surgery who failed to respond to treatment or developed a muscle-invasive recurrence. Non-muscle-invasive bladder recurrences and upper tract tumors should be treated in line with guidelines for respective primary tumors. Multiparametric magnetic resonance can be used for tumor staging and response monitoring, as it may distinguish disease recurrence from treatment-induced inflammation and fibrosis.

Effects of Different Organ Metastases on the Prognosis of Stage IV Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2022; 2022:8594022. [PMID: 36385960 PMCID: PMC9646306 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8594022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2022] [Revised: 09/25/2022] [Accepted: 10/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
Objective To assess the prognosis of stage IV metastatic urinary bladder urothelial carcinoma (UBUC) at initial diagnosis and determine prognostic factors based on distant organ metastasis. Methods A retrospective cohort analysis of UBUC was conducted based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to determine the variables associated with overall survival (OS). Kaplan–Meier curves were used to compare survival curves among different groups. Results A total of 3103 patients with stage IV UBUC were selected for analysis. The number of distant organ metastatic sites independently predicted the OS. The OS was not different in other metastatic sites when bone metastasis was used as a reference (P > 0.05). However, the OS was shorter for a single metastatic site (P < 0.001) and multiple metastatic sites when metastasis was not used as a reference (P < 0.001). Multivariable Cox regression analysis indicated that low survivorship was independently associated with no surgery for the entire cohort and patients with only one metastatic organ. Sex (P = 0.019) and grade (P = 0.046) were the independent risk factors for patients with only one metastatic organ. Conclusions These results show that the prognosis of stage IV metastatic UBUC is not different between any single metastatic organ. The prognosis of stage IV metastatic UBUC depends on the number of distant organ metastasis. This study determined some predictors of survival and thus may help therapists to choose appropriate treatment strategies for metastatic UBUC.

Abstract
Background Radical cystectomy for bladder cancer represents a high demolitive surgical procedure with a significative impact on quality of life. Sexuality preserving techniques have been proposed in order to improve functional outcomes. Although sex-sparing techniques would provide women with the chance of having pregnancy, experience is still limited when malignant conditions are considered. We report the outcomes of pregnancy and delivery in a 43-year-old woman with a Padua ileal orthotopic neobladder after robot-assisted sexuality preserving cystectomy for muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer performed four years earlier, at age 39. Case presentation Since pregnancy was confirmed, the patient had been under close urological and gynecological observation. Hydronephrosis and voiding-relating complications were reported and treated by inserting a nephrostomy tubes and indwelling bladder catheter. At the time of delivery, elective caesarian section was performed without complications. Conclusions Sexuality preserving cystectomy could be an option in selected and highly motivated young patients with diagnosis of bladder cancer. A multidisciplinary team of experts included gynecologists, urologists, radiologists, anesthesiologists and neonatologists is required for the optimal management of pregnancy and peripartum care in women with urinary diversion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Radical cystectomy (RC) represents the gold standard treatment for high-risk bladder cancer. Despite evidence suggesting that surgical experience correlates with perioperative and oncologic outcomes of robot-assisted RC (RARC), validated tools to assess its quality objectively are lacking. We aimed to evaluate the impact of RC-Pentafecta (absence of early major complications, absence of urinary diversion related sequelae at ≤12 months, absence of soft tissue surgical margins, ≥16 lymph nodes at final pathology and absence of clinical recurrence at ≤12 months) on oncological outcomes and the role of surgical experience on its achievement. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 366 patients undergoing RARC with intracorporeal urinary diversion in a single tertiary centre with a minimum of 1 year follow-up. Surgeries were performed using the DaVinci Xi system according to a previously described technique. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to investigate 5-years overall survival and cancer specific mortality-free survival (CSS) according to RC-Pentafecta achievement. Multivariable Cox's regressions were performed to evaluate the impact of RC-Pentafecta on overall mortality. Multivariable logistic regressions were performed to explore the effect of surgical experience on RC-pentafecta achievement. Locally weighted scatterplot smoother function was used to graphically explore this relationship. RESULTS Patients achieving RC-Pentafecta showed higher 5-year overall survival (71.8% vs. 59.6%, P < 0.001) and CSS (84% vs. 71%, P < 0.001) when compared with patients not achieving it. At multivariable Cox's regression, RC-Pentafecta achievement (HR 0.57, P = 0.03), positive surgical margins (HR 2.48, P = 0.002), pN+ (HR 2.23, P = 0.002), pT≥3 (HR 1.71, P = 0.04) and current smoking status (HR 2.4, P = 0.006) were significant predictors of overall mortality. At multivariable logistic regression surgical experience (OR 1.2, P < 0.001), age (OR 0.93, P = 0.04), previous prostate surgery (OR 0.7, P = 0.02) and pT≥3 (OR 0.8, P = 0.03) were independent predictors of RC-Pentafecta achievement. A linear relationship between surgical experience and RC-Pentafecta achievement, without reaching a plateau, was observed. CONCLUSIONS RC-Pentafecta is a valuable tool to assess surgical quality of RARC and the experience of the center where the surgery is performed and may be used to identify "referral" centers for treatment of high-risk bladder cancer.

Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the perioperative, oncological, and functional results and complications of extracorporeal orthotopic neobladder (EON) and totally intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder (ION) after laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer and high-risk nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer. Methods: From January 2013 to October 2019, 152 patients underwent LRC and U-shape neobladder urinary diversion at a single tertiary referral hospital. We then compared the extracorporeal (n = 62) and intracorporeal (n = 90) orthotopic neobladder after laparoscopic cystectomy groups. Results: Of all patients, 90 with ION and 62 with EON were included in the study. Concerning perioperative outcomes, the ION group had lower estimated blood loss (455.7 versus 371.7 mL, P = .019), a shorter interval to solid food (6.9 versus 8.7 days, P = .006), and a shorter length of hospital stay (14.6 versus 16.0 days, P = .009). No statistically significant differences were identified in overall (P = .649), early (P = .509), and late (P = .367) complications. However, in terms of gastrointestinal complications, the ION group had a lower complication rate than the EON group (11.1% versus 27.4%, P = .018). There were no statistically significant differences in cancer-specific or noncancer-specific mortality. Daytime and nocturnal continence rates for the ION versus EON groups were 86.7% and 87.1% (P = 1) and 70.0% versus 66.1% (P = .614), respectively. Patients who underwent intracorporeal urinary diversion had a higher health-related quality of life within 3 months postoperative than the extracorporeal urinary diversion group. Conclusion: LRC with ION could be an alternative to EON with similar oncological and functional outcomes at tertiary referral centers. ION had advantages of faster bowel recovery, fewer gastrointestinal complications, and higher quality of life within 3 months postoperative. Clinical Trial Registration No. ChiCTR2100042063.

Objective To review the most used robot-assisted cutaneous urinary diversion (CUD) after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer and create a unified compendium of the different alternatives, including new consistent images Methods A non-systematic review of the literature with the keywords “bladder cancer”, “cutaneous urinary diversion”, and “radical cystectomy” was performed. Results Twenty-four studies of intracorporeal ileal conduit (ICIC) and two of intracorporeal Indiana pouch (ICIP) were included in the analysis. Regarding ICIC, the patients’ age ranged from 60 to 76 years. The operative time to perform a urinary diversion ranged from 60 to 133 min. The total estimated blood loss ranged from 200 to 1 117 mL. The rate of positive surgical margins ranged from 0% to 14.3%. Early minor and major complication rates ranged from 0% to 71.4% and from 0% to 53.4%, respectively. Late minor and major complication rates ranged from 0% to 66% and from 0% to 32%, respectively. Totally ICIP data are limited to one case report and one clinical series. Conclusion The most frequent type of CUD is ICIC. Randomized studies comparing the performance of the different types of CUD, the performance in an intra- or extracorporeal manner, or the performance of a CUD versus orthotopic ileal neobladder are lacking in the literature. To this day, there are not enough quality data to determine the supremacy of one technique. This manuscript represents a compendium of the most used CUD with detailed descriptions of the technical aspects, operative and perioperative outcomes, and new consistent images for each technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It was aimed to compare open versus robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal ileal conduit (ICIC), versus RARC with extracorporeal ileal conduit (ECIC) formation for bladder cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Open, RARC-ECIC and RARC-ICIC groups were compared in terms of patient demographics, operative and postoperative parameters, pathological parameters, complications and functional outcomes. RESULTS Mean operative times were lower in the RARC-ECIC group (p = 0.004). Mean estimated blood loss was significantly lower (p < 0.01) in the robotic groups. The blood transfusion was lower in RARC-ICIC groups (p < 0.001). Rates of stage pT3-4 disease were the highest in the RARC-ICIC group (p = 0.004). LOS was significantly shorter in the RARC-ICIC group (p = 0.01). Numbers of Clavien 3-5 complications were lower in the robotic groups (p = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS RARC and ICIC is a complex procedure involving an increased operation time but with the advantages of lower estimated blood loss, transfusion rates, complications and hospital stays compared with open surgery.

Abstract
Radical cystectomy, pelvic lymph node dissection and urinary diversion is the gold-standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The surgery is both complex and highly morbid. Robotic cystectomy is now in its 16th year with established techniques and sufficient research maturity to enable comparison with its open counterpart. The present review focuses on the current evidence for robotic cystectomy and assesses various metrics including oncological, perioperative, functional, surgeon-specific and cost outcomes. The review also encapsulates the current evidence for intra-corporeal urinary diversion and its current status in the cystectomy arena.

Abstract
Over the last decade, the increased utilization of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) in the surgical treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer has led to an uptrend in intracorporeal urinary diversions (ICUD). However, the operative results comparing ICUD to extracorporeal urinary diversion (ECUD) have varied widely. We performed a meta-analysis to analyze perioperative outcomes and complications of ICUD compared to ECUD following RARC. This study is registered at International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) CRD42020164074. A systematic literature review was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases in August 2019. A total of six studies comparing ICUD vs ECUD were identified and meta-analysis was conducted on these studies. In addition, a cumulative analysis was also performed on 83 studies that reported perioperative outcomes after RARC and ICUD or ECUD. The Weighed Mean Difference of operative time and blood loss between ICUD and ECUD group was (16; 95% confidence interval - 34 to 66) and (- 86; 95% confidence interval - 124 to - 48), respectively. ICUD and ECUD had comparable early (30-day) and mid-term (30-90-day) complication rate (RR 1.19; 95% confidence interval 0.71-2.0; p = 0.5) and (RR 0.91; 95% confidence interval 0.71-1.15 p = 0.4) respectively. In the 83 studies that were included in the cumulative analysis, the mean operative time for ileal conduit and neobladders by ICUD were 307 and 428 min, respectively, compared to ECUD 428 and 426 min, respectively. ICUD and ECUD have comparable short- and mid-term complication rate. The ICUD group has lower blood loss and lower rate of blood transfusion compared to ECUD.

Abstract
"The robotic approach for radical cystectomy has become increasingly adopted by the urologic oncology community, as it has been shown to have equivalent oncologic outcomes with shorter hospital stay and fewer perioperative transfusions. Consensus guidelines from expert surgeons have been published to provide guidance on all aspects of how to implement the robotic approach in the urologic oncology clinic."

Abstract
Background: To summarize the current evidence on robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) and compare perioperative outcomes and postoperative complications of patients undergoing RARC with extracorporeal urinary diversion (ECUD) and ICUD. Patients and Methods: Through a systematical search of multiple scientific databases in March 2020, we performed a systematic review and cumulative meta-analysis of the primary outcomes of interest. Also, we assessed the quality of the relevant evidence according to the framework in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Results: Thirteen studies with 4696 participants were included in this review. No significant differences were found between the ECUD and ICUD in operation time (OT) (mean difference [MD]: -6.45, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -35.20 to 22.30), length of stay (MD: 0.36, 95% CI: -0.81 to 1.54), 30-day overall complications (odds ratio [OR]: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.60-1.41), 30-day minor complications (OR: 1.36, 95% CI: 0.85-2.19), 30-day major complications (OR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.34-1.43), 90-day overall complications (OR: 1.34, 95% CI: 0.83-2.18), and major complications (OR: 1.03, 95% CI: 0.68-1.57). However, less estimate blood loss (MD: 99.28 mL, 95% CI: 62.59-135.98), lower intraoperative blood transfusion (OR: 1.80, 95% CI: 1.09-2.95), shorter oral intake time (MD: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.43-1.14), and 90-day minor complications (OR: 1.72, 95% CI: 1.08-2.73) were associated with ICUD. The subgroup analysis showed less estimated blood loss (MD: 149.73, 95% CI: 21.33-278.13) and less OT (MD: 32.45, 95% CI: 14.37-50.53) were found in ICUD. Conclusions: The ICUD is a safe and feasible alternative to ECUD, which decreases the need for blood transfusion and reduces 90-day complications. However, further quality studies are needed to evaluate effectiveness of ICUD and its oncologic outcomes, functional outcomes, cost, and the quality of life.

Abstract
Purpose To summarize and analyze the current evidence about surgical, oncological, and functional outcomes between laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) and open partial nephrectomy (OPN). Materials and Methods Through a systematical search of multiple scientific databases in March 2020, we performed a systematic review and cumulative meta-analysis. Meanwhile, we assessed the quality of the relevant evidence according to the framework in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Results A total of 26 studies with 8095 patients were included. There was no statistical difference between the LPN and OPN in the terms of operation time (p=0.13), intraoperative complications (p=0.94), recurrence (p=0.56), cancer-specific survival (p=0.72), disease-free survival (p=0.72), and variations of estimated glomerular filtration rate (p=0.31). The LPN group had significantly less estimated blood loss (P<0.00001), lower blood transfusion (p=0.04), shorter length of hospital stay (p<0.00001), lower total (p=0.03) and postoperative complications (p=0.02), higher positive surgical margin (p=0.005), higher overall survival (p<0.00001), and less increased serum creatinine (p=0.002). The subgroup analysis showed that no clinically meaningful differences were found for T1a tumors in terms of operation time (p=0.11) and positive surgical margin (p=0.23). In addition, the subgroup analysis also suggested that less estimated blood loss (p<0.0001) and shorter length of hospital stay (p<0.00001) were associated with the LPN group for T1a tumors. Conclusions This meta-analysis revealed that the LPN is a feasible and safe alternative to the OPN with comparable surgical, oncologic, and functional outcomes. However, the results should be applied prudently in the clinic because of the low quality of evidence. Further quality studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness LPN and its postoperative quality of life compared with OPN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is paucity of data about functional outcomes of Robot-assisted Radical Cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder (ICON), and the impact of learning curve (LC) on those outcomes remains to be addressed. The aim of this study was to report long-term functional outcomes of our single center series of RARC with ICON, assessing the role of LC in their achievement. METHODS Patients treated with Robot assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder in our center between January 2012 and August 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative, clinical, perioperative, pathologic and functional data were reported. The first cases were divided in tertiles, for assessing the impact of learning curve on the outcomes evaluated. Long-term functional outcomes of the whole cohort were evaluated. RESULTS Overall, 167 patients were included. Concerning tertiles analysis, operative time (P<0.001), incidence of low (P=0.002) and high grade (P=0.001) complications and hospital stay (P=0.04) decreased significantly over time. Day-time continence recovery probability was significantly lower in the initial case series (1-yr rate 68.4%, 87% and 89.8 for I, II and III tertile, respectively; P=0.04;). Accordingly, Trifecta achievement was significantly higher in II and III tertiles (P=0.01). At a median follow- up of 34 months, the incidence of significant renal function deterioration of the whole cohort was 16.7%. Overall, 12, 24 and 60-mo day-time continence rates were 74.8%, 82.7% and 82.7%. CONCLUSIONS Patients treated at the beginning of the learning curve show worse perioperative and functional results. Once standardized the procedure, complications rates, hospital stay, and day-time continence recovery experienced a significant improvement. At a long-term analysis of functional outcomes of our patients, renal function preservation and continence recovery results are encouraging.

Abstract
Purpose Radical cystectomy (RC) is the primary treatment strategy for patients with muscular invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). However, the prognosis is poor and tumor recurrence is not rare, in particular, urethral recurrence (UR) in male patients who underwent RC combined with urinary diversion. Here, we have developed and validated a model for predicting UR in these patients. Patients and Methods The development cohort comprised 310 patients who underwent RC combined with urinary diversion at our center between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2015. Clinicopathologic data of patients were comprehensively recorded. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression was used for building a predictive model with regression coefficients and backward stepwise selection applied by utilizing the likelihood ratio test with Akaike’s information criterion as the stopping rule. An independent cohort consisting of 131 consecutive patients treated from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2017 was used for validation. The performance of this predictive model was assessed with respect to discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness. Results The predictors of this model included body mass index, history of transurethral resection of bladder tumor, tumor grade, tumor stage, and concomitant carcinoma in situ. In the validation cohort, the model showed good discrimination with a concordance index of 0.777 (95% CI, 0.618 to 0.937) and calibration. Decision curve analysis also demonstrated the clinical utility of the model. Conclusion The predictive model facilitated postoperative individualized prediction of UR in male patients with MIBC after RC combined with urinary diversion and it may therefore serve to improve follow-up strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has been proven to be an established prognostic factor after open radical cystectomy (ORC). We evaluated the impact of NACT on survival outcomes of a single-institution robotic radical cystectomy (RARC) series. METHODS From January 2012 to June 2020, 79 patients were identified. Baseline, demographic, perioperative, and pathologic data were described. Kaplan-Meier with the log-rank test was used to compare overall survival (OS) differences between complete, partial, and no-NACT responders, respectively. Univariable and multivariable regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of OS. RESULTS Complete, partial, and absent response to NACT were recorded in 43 (54.4%), 21 (19%), and 15 (26.6%) patients, respectively. A complete response to NACT displayed a trend toward significant higher OS (p = 0.03). In univariable analysis, significant predictors of lower OS were hypertension (HR 3.37; CI 95% 1.31-8.62; p = 0.01); advanced nodal involvement (HR 2.41; CI 95% 0.53-10.9; p < 0.001); and incomplete response to NACT (HR 0.41; CI 95% 0.18-0.95; p = 0.039). In multivariable analysis, the only independent predictor of worse OS was advanced pathologic N stages (HR 10.1; CI: 95% CI 2.3-44.3; p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Complete response to NACT is associated with increased OS probability, but significant nodal residual disease remains the only independent predictor of OS after RARC.

Late complications of robot-assisted radical cystectomy with totally intracorporeal urinary diversion. World J Urol 2020; 39:1903-1909. [PMID: 32747981 PMCID: PMC8217047 DOI: 10.1007/s00345-020-03378-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2020] [Accepted: 07/20/2020] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction and objectives To evaluate late complications in a large cohort of patients undergoing robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with totally intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD). Materials and methods We prospectively enrolled patients who underwent RARC and ICUD between August 2012 and June 2019. We excluded patients with Ejection fraction < 36%, retinal vasculopathy, ventriculoperitoneal shunts, and those treated without curative intent. All complications and their onset date have been recorded, defined, and graded according to Clavien classification adapted for radical cystectomy. Results 210 patients were included, 76% of whom were men, with a mean age of 62 years. Urinary diversions used were Padua Ileal Bladder (PIB) in 80% of cases, and ileal conduit (IC) in 20% of patients (generally older and with more comorbidity). The mean follow-up was 30 ± 22 months. The stenosis rate of uretero-ileal anastomosis was 14%, while a reduction in eGFR (≥ 20%) was observed in about half of the cases. UTIs occurred in 37% of the patients, especially in the first 12 months. Only 2% of patients had bowel occlusion, whereas incisional hernia, lymphocele, and systemic events (metabolic acidosis and major cardiovascular events) occurred respectively in 20%, 10%, and 1% of cases. Conclusions Our study evaluates first late complications in a cohort of patients who underwent RARC with ICUD. These data are encouraging and in line with findings from a historical series of open radical cystectomy (ORC). This study is a further step in supporting RARC as a safe and effective surgical option for the treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) in tertiary referral centers.

Abstract
Abstract To review the most used intracorporeal orthotopic ileal neobladder (ICONB) after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer and create a unified compendium of the different alternatives, including new consistent images. Methods We performed a non-systematic review of the literature with the keywords “bladder cancer”, “urinary diversion”, “radical cystectomy”, and “neobladder”. Results Forty studies were included in the analysis. The most frequent type of ICONB was the modified Studer “U” neobladder (70%) followed by the Hautmann “W” modified neobladder (7.5%), the “Y” neobladder (5%), and the Padua neobladder (5%). The operative time to perform a urinary diversion ranged from 124 to 553 min. The total estimated blood loss ranged from 200 to 900 mL. The rate of positive surgical margins ranged from 0% to 8.1%. Early minor and major complication rates ranged from 0% to 100% and from 0% to 33%, respectively. Late minor and major complication rates ranged from 0% to 70% and from 0% to 25%, respectively. Conclusion The most frequent types of ICONB are Studer “U” neobladder, Hautmann “W” neobladder, “Y” neobladder, and the Padua neobladder. Randomized studies comparing the performance of the different types of ICONB, the performance in an intra or extracorporeal manner, or the performance of an ICONB versus ICIC are lacking in the literature. To this day, there are not sufficient quality data to determine the supremacy of one technique. This manuscript represents a compendium of the most used ICONB with detailed descriptions of the technical aspects, operative and perioperative outcomes, and new consistent images of each technique.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION As the medical field is moving toward personalized and tailored approaches, we entered the era of precision surgery for the management of genitourinary cancers1. This is facilitated by the implementation of new technologies, among which robotic surgery stands out for the significant impact in the surgical field over the last two decades. AREAS COVERED This article reviews the latest evidence on robotic surgery for the treatment of urologic cancers, including prostate, kidney, bladder, testis, and penile cancer. Functional and oncologic outcomes, new surgical techniques, new imaging modalities, and new robotic platforms are discussed. EXPERT OPINION Robotic surgery had a growing role in the management of genitourinary cancers over the past 10 years. Despite a lack of high-quality evidence comparing the effectiveness of robotic to open surgery, the robotic approach allowed a larger adoption of a minimally invasive surgical approach, translating into lower surgical morbidity and shorter hospital stay. New robotic platforms might allow to explore novel surgical approaches, and new technologies might facilitate surgical navigation and intraoperative identification of anatomical structures, allowing a more tailored and precise surgery. It is an exciting time for robotic surgery, and upcoming technological advances will offer better outcomes to urologic cancer patients.

Abstract
Robotic assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) has gained popularity within minimally-invasive urologic surgery, and has been shown to be a safe procedure with similar oncologic outcomes when compared to the conventional open standard. While initial RARC feasibility and outcomes studies were performed with extracorporeal urinary diversion, intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) is becoming increasingly utilized. Reported benefits of an intracorporeal approach include decreased blood loss and a lower incidence of ureteral strictures. While ICUD is technically challenging, many have overcome the learning curve associated with this procedure via a mentorship model and a dedicated operative team. Techniques vary between institutions, and ileal conduit, continent cutaneous and orthotopic continent (neobladder) diversions have all been performed. Herein, we describe the learning curve, technical points, and unique complications associated with ICUD.
