Abstract
In patients with nonmetastatic muscle invasive bladder cancer, radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection represent a comprehensive surgical treatment. We tested the hypothesis that radical cystectomy performed at a high caseload hospital and/or by a high caseload surgeon is more likely to include pelvic lymph node dissection.
