Reply to Alchiede Simonato and Marco Ennas’ Letter to the Editor re: Ben J.Performing MIRC depends on careful case selection to operate on patients with organ-confined disease, and “the presence of locally advanced disease is a strong contraindication to the MIRC” however, as emphasized by the authors, some institutes have completely abandoned open RC and offer only LRC or RRC, even in cases of locally advanced bladder cancer.
Radical cystectomy (RC) is the preferred treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, but even if both laparoscopic RC (LRC) and robot-assisted RC (RRC) are feasible procedures, these approaches continue to be recommended as optional alternatives. concerning minimally invasive radical cystectomy (MIRC)-an impressive review of the literature on this challenging subject.
We read with great interest the paper by Challacombe et al.
