Extraperitoneal tissue retraction technique: An effective assistant of extraperitoneal pure single-port robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy with the da Vinci Si surgical system

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The limitations of tissue retraction and the amount of surgical working space have a great impact on extraperitoneal single-port robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (sp-RARP) with the multiport robotic surgical system. We used an extraperitoneal tissue retraction technique to achieve tissue exposure and working space expansion. This study evaluated the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of the extraperitoneal tissue retraction technique in extraperitoneal pure sp-RARP with the da Vinci Si surgical system.

Methods

Data from 42 patients were analyzed retrospectively from December 2018 to February 2020. The extraperitoneal tissue retraction technique was not used in 20 patients (group I) and was used in 22 patients (group II). Preoperative, intraoperative, and po
