- Abstract
What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Radical cystectomy (RC) carries significant risks of morbidity and mortality. Little is known whether in-hospital outcomes are improving for RC. Using a contemporary population-based cohort, the present study suggests minimal improvement in postoperative complications and mortality overall or by hospital-volume category from 2001 to 2008. About 29% and 2% of patients undergoing RC will experience a postoperative complication or die during hospitalisation, respectively.
