This comprehensive systematic review provides an update on urinary biomarkers of different 'omic' class and highlights promising biomarkers. Few biomarkers achieve a high sensitivity and negative predictive value. Such biomarkers will require external validation in a prospective observational setting before adoption in clinical practice.
A comprehensive ERAS programme can significantly reduce LOS in patients undergoing iRARC without increasing 90-day readmission rates. An ERAS programme can augment the benefits of iRARC in improving peri-operative outcomes. In studies comparing ORC and RARC, the presence or absence of an ERAS programme will be a confounding factor and only level 1 evidence can be interpreted reliably.
In-depth critical analysis of complications following robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion.

RESULTS AND LIMITATIONSThe 90-day all complication rate following ileal conduit and continent diversion was 68% and 82.4% while major complications were 21.0% and 20.6% respectively. 90-day mortality was 3% and 2.9% for ileal conduit and continent diversion patients respectively. On multivariate analysis, blood transfusion requirement was independently associated with major (p=0.002) and all 30-day (p=0.002) and 90-day major complications (p=0.012) while male patients were associated with 90-day major complications (p=0.015). Critical analysis identified surgical complications was responsible for 39.4% of all 90-day major complications.
PATIENT SUMMARYIn this report, we looked at the surgical outcomes in bladder cancer patients treated with minimal invasive robotic surgery. We found that surgical complications account for most major complications and previous surgical experience may be a confounding factor when interpreting results from different center even in a randomised trial setting.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
