Abstract:Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RLRP) by comparing the differences between the advantages and disadvantages and the short-term and long-term outcomes of RLRP and conventional laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP). Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 826 patients with prostate cancer admitted to the Department of Urology, Xijing Hospital from January 2017 to July 2018, including 538 patients with RLRP (RLRP group) and 288 patients with LRP (LRP group). The intraoperative conditions (surgery time, intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion rate), postoperative condition (out of bed time, positive margin, leakage rate, drainage tube removal time, postoperative hospital stay), follow-up (complete urinary control rate and biochemical recurrence rate at 12th month of follow-up) were compared between the two groups. Results: There were no significant differences in the intraoperative blood loss and blood transfusion rate between the two groups (P > 0.05). The operative time in the RLRP group was significantly shorter than that in the LRP group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the positive margin and leakage rate between the two groups (P > 0.05). The RLRP group had a shorter out of bed time, drainage tube removal time, and postoperative hospital stay than the LRP group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the rate of complete urinary control and biochemical recurrence between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion: RLRP is safe and feasible. Compared with LRP, RLRP has the advantages of shortening operation time and promoting early recovery after surgery. However, there is no advantage in long-term efficacy.
