Evaluating trends in radical prostatectomy approach and 30-day complication rate in Ontario from 2010-2019.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer has changed over the years with the advent of minimally invasive (MIRP) approaches, which includes robotic-assisted RP (RARP). The MIRP approaches have been shown to reduce complication rate, but there remain barriers to adoption. The objective of this study was to quantitatively describe the trend in the RP approach in Ontario, and to assess the trend in complication rates.

Methods

We conducted a population-based, retrospective cohort study including all men who underwent RP for prostate cancer in Ontario from 2010-2019. We used administrative data from Ontario's health databases to gather surgical outcome data. Our primary outcomes were the annualized frequency of RP by surgical approach and annualized 30-day comp
