Abstract
PURPOSE: The benefits of robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) are unclear, especially in patients with high-risk disease (pT3/T4). We evaluated pathological and postoperative outcomes of RARC versus open radical cystectomy (ORC) in these patients. METHODS: We identified bladder cancer patients treated with RARC or ORC from January 2010-August 2014. Clinicodemographic factors were examined for potential confounding. Our primary outcome of interest was positive soft-tissue surgical margins (STSMs). Secondary outcomes included post-operative complications and length of stay (LOS). We used logistic regression to define the association between clinical factors with outcomes of interest, focusing on patients with locally advanced disease. RESULTS: We identified 472 patients treated with ORC (407, 86.2 %) or RARC (65, 13.8 %) of which 215 (45.6 %) were high-risk cases based on advanced pathologic stage (pT3/4). RARC patients were more commonly men (96.9 vs. 73.2 %, p < 0.01), had better performance status (ECOG 0, 78.5 vs. 59.7 %, p = 0.031), and received less neoadjuvant chemotherapy (21.5 vs. 39.3 %, p = 0.006). Total (52.3 vs. 59.7 %, p = 0.26) and high-grade complication rates (13.8 vs. 19.7 %, p = 0.27) were similar, but median LOS was shorter after RARC (6 vs. 7 days, p < 0.01). On multivariate analysis, prior pelvic radiation (OR: 4.78, 95 % CI: 2.16-10.57), and advanced tumor stage (OR: 3.06, 95 % CI: 1.56-6.03) were independently associated with positive STSMs in high-risk patients but robotic surgical approach was not (OR: 0.81, 95 % CI: 0.29-2.30; p = 0.69). CONCLUSION: RARC had similar short-term postoperative outcomes compared to ORC and did not compromise oncological control in patients with extravesical disease.
