Minimizing the learning curve for robotic-assisted radical cystectomy: A single-surgeon, retrospective, cohort study

INTRODUCTION: Studies published to date have suggested non-inferiority of robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) compared to open radical cystectomy (ORC), while few centers in Canada have adopted this approach. Though multifactorial, the learning curve and operative time are often discussed barriers. Herein, we present outcomes from the largest Canadian cohort of RARC performed to date. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective chart review of …
