Abstract

BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia, a syndrome characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle mass, has attracted attention in the field of oncology, as it reflects poor nutritional status. The present study aimed to determine the risk factors for postoperative inguinal hernia (PIH) development after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer, and discuss whether sarcopenia could be used as a sensitive predictor of PIH.
