Abstract

BACKGROUND/AIM: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has been widely adopted as the standard treatment for localized prostate cancer. RARP is safer and results in better oncological control than conventional open total prostatectomy. However, it has also been reported that acute kidney injury (AKI) can be caused by the use of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum and a steep Trendelenburg position. We investigated the incidence of AKI after RARP and its relationship with the Trendelenburg position angle.
