Comparative effectiveness of open, laparoscopic and robot-assisted radical cystectomy for bladder cancer: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Current evidence indicates that minimally invasive approaches could be considered as a feasible and safe alternative to ORC when performed by experienced surgeons in selected patients. Notably, RARC may be more suitable for RC with extracorporeal urinary diversion. Larger well-designed trials are still needed to confirm these findings due to the observational nature of most studies.
