ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
We aimed to assess the outcome of our series of simple prostatectomy at our institution using the open simple prostatectomy (OSP) and robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) approaches.METHODS:
We conducted a retrospective chart review of men who underwent OSP and RASP at Western University, in London, ON. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data were collected and analyzed.RESULTS:
From 2012-2020, 29 men underwent a simple prostatectomy at our institution. Eight patients underwent an OSP and 21 patients underwent a RASP. The median age was 69 years. Preoperative median prostate volume was 153 cm<sup>3</sup> (range 80-432). The surgical indications were failed medical treatment, urinary retention, hydronephrosis, cystolithiasis, and recurrent hematuria. The median operative time was 137.5 minutes in OSP and 185 minutes in RASP (p=0.04). Median estimated blood loss was 2300 ml (range 600-4000) and 100 ml (range 50-400) in the open and robotic procedures, respectively (p=0.4). The mean length of hospital stay was shorter in the RASP group, one day vs. three days (z=4.152, p<0.005). Perioperative complication rates were significantly lower in the group undergoing RASP, with no complications recorded in this group (p=0.004). Both groups demonstrated excellent functional results, with most patients reporting complete urinary continence (p=0.8).CONCLUSIONS:
We report very good perioperative outcomes, with a minimal risk profile and excellent functional results, leading to marked improvement in patients' symptoms at followup after both the OSP and RASP approaches. RASP was associated with a shorter length of hospital stay, decreased blood loss, and a lower complication rate.
