Roboterassistierte radikale Prostatektomie

Abstract: Our findings of decreased transfusion and complication rates and a trend of better early recovery of continence in RARP should be considered in obese patients (BMI >30) scheduled for radical prostatectomy.

“…Specifically, obese patients undergoing ORP were at higher risk to undergo a non-nerve sparing procedure, while this was not observed in RARP patients. This may be explained by the better visual conditions of RARP in obese patients, as already reported by Beyer et al (18). In multivariable adjusted analyses higher BMI failed (p = 0.06) to be an independent predictor of none or unilateral NVBP and only age could be investigated as an independent predictor.…”

“…Generally, prostatectomy in obese patients is linked with increased perioperative morbidity [ 10 ]. With the surge in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), more obese patients are being considered for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).…”

“…In patients undergoing prostatectomy, no study has ever been able to determine the real impact of obesity on QOL. Therefore, some studies recommend prostatectomy in obese patients given the advances in robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery [ 27 ]. Conversely, others consider obesity to be a predictor of adverse effects on QOL [ 28 , 29 ].…”
