Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on ambulatory urologic oncology surgeries

CONCLUSIONS: We found a shift towards ambulatory RALP and TURBT following COVID outbreak. There was a large increase in ambulatory RALP post-COVID, but the trend of change was not significantly different pre- and post-COVID - possibly due to a pre-existing trend towards ambulatory RALP which predated the pandemic.PMID:38104328
