Abstract

BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) has replaced open prostatectomy. However, RALP does not reduce postoperative pain compared to the open approach. We explored whether bundled intraoperative intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine and ketorolac reduced opioid requirements during the 24 h after RALP.
