Initial experience and short-term outcomes of single-port extraperitoneal transvesical robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: a two-center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study presents the procedure of single-port extraperitoneal transvesical approach to robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (SETvRARP) on the da Vinci Xi platform coupling with a 4-channel single port and evaluated the short-term outcomes in the first 72 prostate cancer (PCa) patients.

Methods

Seventy-two patients with localized PCa were enrolled. Each operation was conducted by the same single robotic surgery group in two centers using the da Vinci Xi system.

Results

The median operation time was 150 min, and the median estimated blood loss was 50 mL. All operations were successfully carried out without open conversion or transfusion. No ≥ Grade II complications were noted. Urethral catheters were routinely removed on postoperative day 7. Sixty-eight (9
