Summary:Abstract Objectives To examine temporal national trends of operative approach for cystectomy and identify demographic or clinical predictive factors that influence choice of approach. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent cystectomy for bladder cancer between 2010 and 2013 using the National Cancer Database (NCDB). Approach was stratified by open vs. minimally invasive (robotic or laparoscopic). Univariate Pearson chi-square and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess relationships between demographic and hospital factors and the receipt of minimally invasive or open surgical approach. Results A total of 9439 patients met our inclusion criteria, of which 34.1% received a minimally invasive approach (MIA). Frequency of MIA increased from 26.3% in 2010 to 39.4% in 2013 (p< 0.0001). Univariate analysis identified statistically significant associations between year of diagnosis, sex, age, race, clinical T stage, insurance status, income, education, distance from hospital, facility type, geographic location, and facility cystectomy volume and choice of approach (all p
