Since the introduction of robot‐assisted radical cystectomy, efforts have been made to meet the standards in terms of perioperative safety and oncological efficacy. Several randomized controlled studies and meta‐analyses, and multi‐institutional studies have shown comparable outcomes of robot‐assisted radical cystectomy when compared with the conventional open approach. In this review, we aimed to describe the surgical technique of robot‐assisted radical cystectomy and urinary diversion, and perioperative, pathological, oncological and functional outcomes.
