The clinical impact of prolonged steep Trendelenburg position and CO2 pneumoperitoneum during robot‐assisted radical cystectomy (RC) on intraoperative conditions and immediate postoperative recovery remains to be assessed. The current study investigates intraoperative and immediate postoperative outcomes for open RC (ORC) versus robot‐assisted RC with intracorporal urinary diversion (iRARC) in a blinded randomised trial. We hypothesised that ORC would result in a faster haemodynamic and respiratory post‐anaesthesia care unit (PACU) recovery compared to iRARC.
