What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the long-term outcomes of patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer, comparing results between robotic and open surgical approaches. It involves collecting data on perioperative, oncological, and functional results to understand the impact of robotic surgery in this context. Patients who are eligible and consent to participate will be monitored throughout their treatment process to gather comprehensive data on their recovery and outcomes.
