Robot‐assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) has rapidly penetrated the field of urology since its inception in 2003. Several observational studies, retrospective reports, and three randomized controlled trials (RCT) have preliminarily demonstrated the safety and efficacy of (RARC). Additionally, results from the RAZOR RCT will be available in 2016–2017 to better substantiate the use of (RARC). J. Surg. Oncol. 2015;112:728–735 . © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
