UP-01.057 Sub Staging of T1 Bladder Cancer: Relationship of Progression and Recurrence to Depth of Invasion (original) (raw)

This study compares the perioperative outcomes between laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) and open radical cystectomy (ORC) in patients with high-risk invasive bladder cancer, focusing on the implications of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels as a stress response indicator. Patients undergoing LRC experienced significantly less blood loss but longer operative times compared to those undergoing ORC. The research suggests that while the immediate postoperative CRP levels were lower in the LRC group, overall recovery methods had improved hospital stay durations despite some increase in readmissions.
