Excerpt

In the review article, robotic-assisted laparoscopic (RAL) was utilized in patients undergoing surgery for upper tract urothelial carcinoma compared with open and laparoscopic approaches. In a retrospective analysis, the authors compared survival (overall and cancer-specific) and intravesical recurrence rates based on surgical approach (open, laparoscopic, or RAL). Including 3801 patients (65–85 years) diagnosed with nonmetastatic upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) undergoing removal of the kidney and/or ureter were identified using Medicare-linked SEER Program data (2004–2013). Open (n = 1862), laparoscopic (n = 1624), and robotic (n = 315). …
