Comparison of open and laparoscopic radical cystectomy as regards long-term oncological outcomes for bladder cancer

Objective: Recently, the laparoscopic technique has become widely accepted as a minimally invasive modality which reduces morbidity and provides similar oncological outcomes to open surgery. However, number of clinical trials comparing radical cystectomy are limited. The objectives this study compare long-term between (ORC) (LRC) for bladder cancer. Materials Methods: Out 144 patients admitted our institute from January 2006 December 2016, 87 were categorized being in LRC group, 57 ORC group. Baseline characteristics, perioperative variables, pathology results collected retrospectively. Oncological including overall survival (OS), recurrence-free (RFS) cancer-specific (CSS) analyzed compared two groups. Results: mean age was 64.19 ± 9.89 years group 61.90 10.47 most frequent urinary diversion procedure both groups ileal conduit. All showed no statistical significance. median follow-up duration 57.18 44.68 months 53.96 34.97 There statistically significant difference (p = 0.322, 0.946, 0.528, respectively). Conclusion: Our demonstrated that outcome is comparable management an alternative option safe, effective, feasible. further large comparative studies with adequate recommended support results.
