Abstract
The laparoscopic approach provides the benefit of lesser blood loss and postoperative pain in patients undergoing radical cystectomy for organ confined bladder cancer. The oncological outcome is comparable to that of open radical cystectomy at 3-year followup. However, longer followup in a larger cohort of patients is needed to assess long-term oncological and functional outcomes.
