Tokyo, June 25 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000061963) titled 'Evaluation of the Usefulness of a Digital Educational Tool in Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy: A Comparative Study of Reduction in Face-to-Face Counseling Time and Patient Comprehension' on June 25.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Parallel Randomization - Randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - Active

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Sapporo Medical University

Condition: Condition - Bladder Cancer Classification by malignancy - Malignancy Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether preoperative viewing of a video created using the surgical explanation application "DICTOR" can significantly reduce the duration of face-to-face explanations provided by physicians. Through this approach, the study aims to improve operational efficiency in clinical practice and contribute to reducing physicians' workload. Furthermore, the study seeks to standardize the content of explanations by digitalizing routine explanations, thereby eliminating variability among physicians and establishing a system that enables consistent and high-quality information delivery to all patients. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - DICTOR Viewing Group

Participants in the intervention group will, prior to the conventional physician led verbal explanation, view a standardized educational video using a dedicated tablet device. The video provides information regarding disease pathology surgical procedures anticipated complications and postoperative course. The video is linked to a QR code allowing patients to access and view it remotely using their own smartphones or other devices regardless of location including at home.

After viewing the video, participants will receive face to face counseling in the outpatient clinic followed by acquisition of written informed consent. In addition, after completion of the face to face explanation, participants will be asked to complete a study specific questionnaire and a knowledge assessment test which are expected to require approximately 5 to 10 minutes.

A total of 15 participants are planned to be enrolled in this group. Interventions/Control_2 - Conventional Explanation Group

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - Not applicable Age-upper limit - Not applicable Gender - Male and Female Key inclusion criteria - Patients diagnosed with bladder cancer and scheduled to undergo robot-assisted radical cystectomy and ileal conduit urinary diversion. Key exclusion criteria - Participants who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from the study:

1. Individuals judged to have difficulty viewing the video or completing the questionnaire due to severe cognitive impairment or other conditions. 2. Individuals who are unable to adequately understand the explanatory video provided in Japanese. 3. Individuals deemed unsuitable for participation in the study by the attending physician for any other reason. Target Size - 30
