Robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic versus open radical cystectomy – A systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

We looked at the difference between three types (robotic assisted, laparoscopic, and open) of operating techniques for radical cystectomy. The data showed no significant differences in OS between the robotic-assisted and the open technique, while enough data were not available to make a comparison with conventional laparoscopic surgery.
