A Comparison of Perioperative Outcomes Between Single-port and Multiport Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy

Pure Single-site Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomy Using Single-port Versus Multiport Robotic Radical Prostatectomy: A Single-institution Comparative Study

“…This study reflects a single surgeon's experience in SP prostatectomy compared with his/her own MP-RARP cases added to those from two other surgeons. However, the perceived advantages of the SP platform are also reported by other teams, suggesting that these are translatable to a wider group of surgeons [26,32,33]. In addition, a homogeneity control analysis showed comparable results between the three surgeons after the MP-RARP (Supplementary Table 1).…”

Predictive factors of postoperative complications and hospital readmission after implementation of the single‐port robotic platform: A single‐center and single‐surgeon experience

“…SP robotic surgery has been increasingly reported in urological literature since the FDA approval of the SP robotic platform in November 2018. [1][2][3][4][5] This new robotic platform, specifically designed for single-site surgery, addressed many of the shortcomings that precluded the widespread adoption of conventional LESS. 6,7 Intracorporeal triangulation of double-jointed instruments and angulation of the distal end of the fully wristed camera might facilitate the adoption of this new surgical platform.…”

“…10 Evidence for the application of the SP robotic system for different procedures has been limited to case series from selected centers. 4,5,[10][11][12] Recently, comparative trials have shown that the outcome of SP robotic surgery can be comparable to standard multiport robotic surgery, but with potentially less morbidity, at least for certain procedures (i.e. radical prostatectomy).…”

“…radical prostatectomy). 4,5 However, little is known about the complications associated with SP robotic surgery. Analyzing the risk of conversion, complication and readmission associated with minimally invasive procedures is very important for patient counseling and surgical decision-making.…”

A comparative analysis of single port versus multi-port robotic assisted radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer

“…To date only two retrospective single institution studies directly compare SP and multi-port (MP) robotic radical prostatectomy outcomes. Vigneswaran et al [ 3 ] found significantly less pain on post-operative day one and shorter hospital stay (1 vs. 2 days) in the SP group with equivocal operating time, positive surgical margin (PSM) and complication rates. Five SP cases were performed via an extraperitoneal approach.…”
