Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy: Recommendations from Latin American Experts Consensus on Surgical Strategy, Urinary Reconstruction, and Oncological and Func-tional Outcomes.
Article in International braz j urol : official journal of the Brazilian Society of Urology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo develop contemporary evidence-informed recommendations for robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC), urinary reconstruction, and perioperative management, integrating current evidence with the experience of Latin American experts in uro-oncology and robotic surgery. MATERIALS AND
methodsA modified Delphi consensus process was conducted involving 42 experts with extensive experience in RARC. Topics included patient selection, perioperative optimization, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), lymph node dissection, urinary reconstruction, functional preservation, perioperative systemic therapy, complex clinical scenarios, and emerging robotic technologies. A comprehensive literature review was performed using Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science through November 2025, following PRISMA principles and incorporating recommendations from EAU, AUA/ASCO/SUO, and NCCN guidelines. Consensus was defined as ≥75% agreement.
resultsConsensus supported routine implementation of ERAS protocols, structured frailty and nutritional assessment, extended pelvic lymph node dissection, and perioperative systemic therapy in eligible patients. Intracorporeal urinary diversion was associated with improved recovery and lower wound-related morbidity. Nerve-sparing and organ-preserving approaches were recommended in selected patients to optimize continence, sexual function, and quality of life. Orthotopic neobladder reconstruction should be individualized according to oncologic safety, functional status, renal function, and patient preference. RARC was considered feasible in complex settings, including obesity, bulky lymphadenopathy, locally advanced disease, and salvage surgery, when performed in experienced high-volume centers. Areas without consensus included urinary drainage strategies and antibiotic prophylaxis duration.
conclusionsThis expert consensus provides recommendations for RARC and urinary reconstruction, aiming to standardize practice, optimize perioperative care, and improve oncological and functional outcomes. Future prospective studies are needed.
