Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and discuss whether a uniform prophylaxis for VTE after radical prostatectomy is also suitable for robotic surgery. On this context, we investigated the incidence and risk factors of VTE, including asymptomatic events, after RARP compared to transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-BT).
