Abstract:Objective: To discuss the efficacy and summarize the operation experience of three-port laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) in the treatment of localized high-risk prostate cancer. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients with localized high-risk prostate cancer who were treated with LRP at our institutes from Jan. 2017 to May 2018. The patients were divided into two groups: three-port group (n=14) and four-port group (n=20). Three-port LRP was characterized by the omission of the trocar placed medial to the right anterior superior iliac spine. Results: The operations were performed successfully in all patients, without serious complications. The mean operation time in three-port group [(171.1±44.2) min] was significantly shorter than that in four-port group [(208.8±32.0) min] (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the mean decrease of hemoglobin, postoperative drainage time, postoperative hospital stay and positive surgical margin rate between the two groups. Over a follow-up period of 3-12 months, the incidence of urinary incontinence at the 3rd month after surgery was 41.7% and 50.0% in the two groups, and 25.0% and 31.3% at the 6th month after surgery, respectively. Three cases in three-port group and 6 in four-port group had biochemical recurrence respectively, and all of them were treated with endocrine therapy. There was no local recurrence or metastasis. Conclusions: Three-port LRP is a feasible, safe and effective treatment for patients with localized high-risk prostate cancer. Compared with four-port LRP, three-port LRP provided shorter operation time, and similar blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, short-term oncological and urinary functional outcomes.
