Comparison of short-term complications after open, laparoscopic and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The objective of this study is to address the lack of real-life study comparing the impact of the three surgical approaches for radical prostatectomy (RP), i.e., open (ORP), laparoscopic (LRP) and robot-assisted (RARP), on the occurrence of postoperative events by measuring the association between surgical approach and risk of death, transfer to an intensive care unit (ICU), or complications during hospitalisation for RP.

Patients and methods

This study used the French National Health Data System (Système National des Données de Santé [SNDS]) to study the 38 481 patients who underwent a RP in French hospitals in 2020-2021. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of any event (death, ICU admission, or complications) during hospitalisation for RP. Secondary endpoints
