Laparoscopic versus open radical cystectomy in 607 patients with bladder cancer: Comparative survival analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To compare perioperative and oncologic survival outcomes between laparoscopic radical cystectomy and open radical cystectomy.

Methods

A total of 607 patients underwent open radical cystectomy (n = 412) or laparoscopic radical cystectomy (n = 195) at a single academic institution from January 2006 to April 2017. Their medical records were retrospectively analyzed. One-to-one propensity score matching was carried out to reduce selection bias. Estimated blood loss and complications were compared. Overall survival, cancer-specific survival and progression-free survival estimates for all patients and patients with locally advanced bladder cancer were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Results

Either before or after matching, the laparoscopic radical cystect
