A Prospective, Randomized Trial Comparing Robotic and Open Radical Cystectomy
The purpose of this study is to determine if using robotic surgical technology during bladder
cancer surgery helps to reduce complications during and after the surgery. The removal of the
bladder and lymph nodes will be done by a robotic or by an open technique. It may be a
Robotic-assisted Radical Cystectomy (RARC) and Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection. Or it may be an
Open Radical Cystectomy (ORC) and Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection.
