Key Points

This research aims to evaluate oncologic outcomes in patients with clinically positive lymph nodes undergoing robotic-assisted radical cystectomy.
Analyzed a cohort of patients with clinically positive lymph nodes (cN1)
Evaluated oncological outcomes post robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC)
Compared findings with open surgical series.
RARC shows disease recurrence rates comparable to traditional open surgery
Cancer-specific mortality rates align with open surgical series
No atypical recurrences noted in the cohort.

Abstract

In a cohort of cN1 patients, RARC shows worthy oncological outcomes with disease recurrence and cancer-specific mortality rates consistent to open surgical series and no evidence of atypical recurrences.
