Case report: endoscopic unroofing of symptomatic peripelvic simple renal cyst.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To assess the frequency of minimally invasive radical cystectomy (MIRC) conversion to open surgery, what factors influence conversion, whether or not the benefits of MIRC vs open radical cystectomy (ORC) persist after conversion, and compare ORC and MIRC outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS:We performed a retrosp...
