PURPOSE: Patients who undergo robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) may present concurrent or secondary inguinal hernia (IH). Surgical repair of IH simultaneously with RARP has been reported. We aimed to assess the long-term effica...
INTRODUCTION: Urinary dysfunctions are common sequelae following prostatectomy. This study aimed to discover factors that can predict urinary continence recovery at various time periods after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP).
Pentafecta (continence, potency, cancer control, free surgical margins, and no complications) is an important outcome of prostatectomy. Our objective was to assess the pentafecta achievement between nerve-spring and non-nerve-sparing robot-assisted r...
The study aims to synthesize all available prospective comparative studies and reports the latest systematic analysis and updated evidence comparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with open radical prostatectomy (ORP) for perioperative, ...
PURPOSE: Patients with robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) need to be placed in Trendelenburg position, which results in cranial displacement of the diaphragm and decreases functional residual capacity and pulmonary compliance. P...
PURPOSE: To investigate the efficacy of continuous suturing using barbed suture for vesicourethral anastomosis (VUA) during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP).
PURPOSE/ BACKGROUND: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are widely used after robot assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in order to evaluate the impact/burden of the treatment. The most bothersome side effects of RARP are urine incontinence ...
INTRODUCTION: It is important for robotic surgery to be cost-effective, especially by reducing the length of stay (LOS). Therefore, we developed a protocol for day-case robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). This study aimed to validate this as...
PURPOSE: The Hugo™ RAS system is a novel robotic platform with innovative features. However, there are currently no available data on extraperitoneal robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) performed using this system. The objective of this study...
