New United States research has found that robotic surgery is just as effective as traditional open surgery for treating bladder cancer.
Directed by Dipen J. Parekh, MD, chair of urology and director of robotic surgery at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, the seven-year Randomized Open Versus Robotic Cystectomy (RAZOR) trial is the first major studrobot visiony to compare the outcomes of robotic surgery to those of traditional open surgery in any organ.
Conducted at 15 medical centers across the U.S., the trial looked at 302 patients in the bladder cancer study, 152 of whom received traditional open surgery and 150 who received robotic surgery. Patients were then followed for two to three years after surgery to compare outcomes.
