- Abstract
Introduction: The number of facilities adopting intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) using robots instead of extracorporeal urinary diversion (ECUD) is increasing. However, guidance on how to introduce robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) + ICUD in each urological institute remains unclear. This study aimed to verify the feasibility of the transition from laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) + ECUD to RARC + ICUD., Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 26 consecutive patients who underwent ICUD with an ileal conduit after RARC between 2018 and 2020 (RARC + ICUD early group). We then compared these patients with 26 consecutive patients who underwent ECUD with an ileal conduit after LRC between 2012 and 2019 (LRC + ECUD late group) at Yokohama City University Hospital., Results: In the RARC + ICUD early group compared with the LRC + ECUD late group, the median total operation time was 516 versus 532.5 min (P = .217); time to cystectomy, 191 versus 206.5 min (P = .234); time of urinary diversion with an ileal conduit, 198 versus 220 min (P = .016); postoperative maximum C-reactive protein levels, 6.98 versus 12.46 mg/L (P = .001); number of days to oral intake, 3 versus 5 days (P = .003); length of hospital stay, 17 versus 32 days (P < .001). The postoperative complication rates (within 90 days) were 23.1% and 42.3% in the RARC + ICUD early and LRC + ECUD late groups, respectively (P = .237). Clavien-Dindo classification ≥3 was noted in 1 and 4 patients in the RARC + ICUD early and LRC + ECUD late groups, respectively (P = .350)., Conclusion: Regarding perioperative outcomes, the RARC + ICUD early group was not inferior to the LRC + ECUD late group. This study suggests the feasibility of a transition from LRC + ECUD to RARC + ICUD., (© 2024 Asia Endosurgery Task Force and Japan Society of Endoscopic Surgery and John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd.)
