Summary

This prospective randomized study is designed to provide high level of evidence supporting superiority of robot assisted (RA) versus open (O) radical cystectomy (RC). The primary endpoint is a 50% reduction of transfusion rate, several perioperative outcomes potentially linked to a reduced invasiveness are considered as secondary endpoints. Investigators hypothesis is that the reduced invasiveness of RARC might turn into a higher adherence to enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols (early bowel recovery, reduced need for painkillers and insertion of nasogastric tube) and consequently to shorter hospital stay and to faster return to daily activities. These data will be taken into account in a matched cost analysis between arms. Secondary aims include a between arm matched comparison of perioperative complications, oncologic outcomes (2-yr disease free survival is an accepted surrogate of long term oncologic effectiveness of RC) and functional outcomes (daytime and nighttime continence).

PROCEDURE

Open or robotic radical cystectomy

ORC and orthotopic ileal neobladder is performed as previously described. A separate package PLND is performed as in open as in robotic surgery. RARC is performed replicating open surgical procedure. The orthotopic ileal neobladder model used is the 'vescica ileale padovana' as previously described. An ileal segment, approximately 42 cm long, is chosen at a minimum distance of 20cm far from ileo-cecal valve. A latero-lateral ileal anastomosis is performed with staplers to restore bowel continuity. For ileal conduit, a 20cm ileal segment (approximately 20 cm long) at a minimum distance of 20 cm from ileo-cecal valve is isolated and transected with staplers. Bowel continuity is restored as previously described. The ileal loop on its distal edge is extracted through abdomen wall at the previously identified stoma point and fixed to abdomen fascia. The ureters are spatulated and a latero-lateral anastomosis according to Wallace 1 technique is performed.
