5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study is a prospective randomised controlled study of urinary bladder cancer patients presented to urology unit at National Cancer Institute; Cairo University.
Detailed Description
The study will randomise 60 patients to one of two arms; laparoscopic-assisted radical cystectomy and open radical cystectomy. The focus of the study will be a comparison of both approaches on the patients' peri-operative outcome.
