TL;DR: Botulinum toxin-A at 200 U is safe and effective for idiopathic detrusor overactivity and the beneficial effects persist for at least 24 weeks, according to this double-blind, placebo controlled trial.

TL;DR: There are five different robotic surgery simulation platforms available on the market as discussed by the authors : Mimic dV-Trainer, ProMIS, SimSurgery Educational Platform(®) (SEP), Intuitive, and SimSurgical SimulatorTM.

TL;DR: The majority of patients with a new diagnosis of bladder cancer have non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, which requires adjuvant intravesical chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy, and both laparoscopic radical cystectomy and robot-assisted radicalCystectomy have been shown to reduce peri-operative morbidity, while being oncologically equivalent to open radical Cystectomy in the medium term.

TL;DR: The initial experience confirms that it is feasible with acceptable morbidity and good short-term oncologic results, and RARC remains a procedure in evolution in the small number of centres carrying out this type of surgery.

TL;DR: A higher annual institutional volume of robot‐assisted radical cystectomy was associated with intracorporeal urinary diversion as well as with shorter operative time, and complications after this procedure decreased significantly with time.
