About this trial
Currently, in the treatment of bladder cancer the use of robotics has entered in clinical practice, therefor robotic radical cystectomy with or without reconstruction is offered to patients during counseling procedures, if deemed appropriate and possible. The aim of the study is therefore the long-term evaluation of the peri-post-operative, oncological and functional results of patients undergoing radical cystectomy, both with an open and robotic approach. This study will thus help to clarify the actual impact of robotic surgery
