Ileal Conduit Versus Orthotopic Neobladder Urinary Diversion in Robot-assisted Radical Cystectomy: Results from a Multi-institutional Series.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Head-to-head comparisons between ileal conduit (IC) and orthotopic neobladder (ONB) in terms of peri- and postoperative outcomes and complications, in the specific setting of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC), are not available.

Objective

To address the impact of the type of urinary diversion (UD, IC vs ONB) on RARC morbidity, as well as operative time (OT), length of stay (LOS), and readmissions.

Design setting and participants

Urothelial bladder cancer patients treated with RARC at nine high-volume European institutions between 2008 and 2020 were identified.

Intervention

RARC with either IC or ONB.

Outcome measurements and statistical analysis

Intra- and postoperative complications were collected and reported according to the Intraope
