Impact of protruded median lobe on perioperative, urinary continence and oncological outcomes of Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the effect of protruded median lobe (PML) on the perioperative, oncological, and urinary continence (UC) outcomes among patients underwent Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP).

Methods

231 consecutive patients who had undergone RS-RARP were collected and analyzed. Patients were divided into three groups based on the PML degree: PML<5 mm (n=99); 5≤ PML <10 mm (n=91); PML ≥10 mm (n=41). The perioperative outcomes, short-term oncological, and UC outcomes were compared among the three groups. Those outcomes were also compared in patients with significant PML (>10 mm) who underwent the traditional or Retzius-sparing RARP.

Results

The median PML was significantly associated age (P<0.001) and prostate volume (P<0.001). Peri
