Local recurrence defined as any recurrence in the cystectomy bed or lymph node dissection template. Distant recurrence defined as any recurrence which is not local or atypical. Though sometimes reported in the
d
referenced studies as a subset of distant recurrences, atypical recurrences reported here are mutually exclusive of local and distant recurrence. “The difference in local recurrence rates did not meet conventional
levels of significance (sHR = 0.36; 95%CI: 0.11-1.12, P = 0.077). Similarly, the difference in the rate of abdominal recurrence did not reach statistical significance (sHR = 0.38; 95%CI:0.07-1.96; P = 0.2). However,
when the pelvic and abdominal recurrences were combined into a single group representing local/regional recurrence, the ORC group showed significantly less local/regional recurrence compared to RARC (sHR =
0.34; 95%CI: 0.12-0.93; P = 0.035)”. RAZOR: randomized open vs. robotic cystectomy; ORC: open radical cystectomy; RARC: robotic assisted radical cystectomy; RCT: randomized controlled trial; CORAL:
