Attention should be focused on women and elderly patients undergoing RC to optimise early rehabilitation and reduce LOS. It is still unknown whether preoperative nutritional risk and comorbidity are obstacles in early rehabilitation of RC patients.

Robot-assisted radical cystectomy is safe and feasible in octogenarians with an acceptable peri-operative morbidity profile that can potentially be an improvement when compared to open surgery. The City of Hope cystectomy pathway was not associated with a reduction in the rates of early complications, mortality or readmissions but a shorter length of stay was observed. Larger randomized, prospective trials are needed to further investigate our findings.

• role limitations due to physical functioning (RP) (57.00±3.54 vs. 57.88±3.76, p < 0.395). • bodily pain (BP) (57.79±3.26 vs. 58.63±3.53, p < 0.381). • general health (GH) (57.79±1.87 vs. 57.85±3.48, p < 0.940). • vitality (VT) (57.79±3.26 vs. 57.80±3.09. p < 0.986). • social functioning (SF) (57.68±3.67 vs. 58.68±3.24, p < 0.292). • role limitations due to emotional problems (RE) (58.63±4.11 vs. 59.27±3.79, p < 0.558). Conclusions: Women with ACS are more frequently older, suffer from hypertension, diabetes, are obese (BMI>30), and are less physically active. We concluded that women reported worse HRQoL results than men patients. However, improvement in perceived health-related quality of life was evident over a 6-month period in both groups of women and men with ACS after PCI.
