Comparison of perioperative outcomes in elderly (age ≧ 75 years) vs. younger men undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:To investigate perioperative, oncologic, and functional outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in men of age ≥ 75 years in comparison with younger men. METHODS:From November 2011 to December 2018, six hundred and thirty patients with prostate cancer underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). A total of 614 patients were analyzed after excluding 16 patients who were treated with hormone therapy prior to RARP. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on their age (age ≥ 75 years: N = 46 patients and age < 75 years: N = 568 patients). Perioperative parameters regarding oncologic/functional outcomes and complication status were compared between the 2 groups. Clavien-Dindo classification was used to classify perioperative complications. Clinical and path
