Robotic Radical Cystectomy and Urinary Diversions: Step-by-Step Technique

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Practical Tips in Urology

Abstract

Robot assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) experience is increasing worldwide, minimizing surgical insult, resulting in postoperative morbidity reduction while offering greater ergonomics for the surgeon. In this chapter, we will cover technical tips and tricks to perform a RARC.
