Abstract
We report early unexpected recurrences after laparoscopic radical cystectomy in nearly 5% of our entire cohort, all in patients with favorable pathological characteristics (pT2 N0 R0 or less). Pneumoperitoneum may have had a role in the development of these relapses. Specifically designed studies are necessary to investigate the possible role of pneumoperitoneum in urothelial cancer recurrence.
