Although radical cystectomy has been shown to be effective in terms of local control and long-term disease-free survival, this procedure can be associated with high perioperative morbidity. This study specialized in evaluating clinical outcomes of patients following laparoscopic radical cystectomy by recruiting 107 patients who underwent the procedure between February 14, 2023, and October 25, 2024. Demographic data and surgical outcomes, including pain scores, hospital length of stay, mortality rates, and recovery time, were recorded, along with health-related quality of life assessments through questionnaires. The surgical outcomes revealed that the operation period was 280 ± 30 min, days to return to a regular diet averaged 4 ± 1.5, ICU admission rate was 3.74%, length of stay ≤6 days was observed in 90.65% of cases, mortality occurred in 2 cases, and post-operative complications were 15.89%, while for open surgery, the operation period was 250 ± 30 min, days to return to a regular diet averaged 6.2 ± 1.5, ICU admission was 13.08%, length of stay ≤6 days was 83.18%, mortality occurred in 9 cases, and post-operative complications were 20.56%. The present study demonstrated that laparoscopic radical cystectomy is the optimal surgical intervention, exhibiting favorable clinical and pathological outcomes in comparison with open surgery.
