ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To determine baseline factors and surgical procedures associated with clinically meaningful improvement or deterioration of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).METHODS:
We retrospectively reviewed our RARP database and analyzed the changes in the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) at baseline and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Multivariable ordinal logistic regression analysis was performed to determine variables that predicted clinically meaningful improvement (∆IPSS ≤ -5) or deterioration (∆IPSS ≥ 5) in LUTS after RARP.RESULTS:
A total of 172 patients were eligible for analysis. Patients aged ≥ 70 reported a higher IPSS before and after RARP (all p < 0.05). Patients with a prostate volume of > 30 mL or body mass index of < 24 kg/m2 had worse preoperative LUTS; however, the difference disappeared after RARP. While patients with or without nerve-sparing (NS) had a similar preoperative LUTS burden, the NS group reported significantly lower IPSS than the non-NS group at all postoperative time points (p < 0.05). Twelve months after RARP, LUTS improved in 27% and worsened in 6% of patients in the NS group, compared with 20% and 24% of those in the non-NS group, respectively (p = 0.018). Preoperative IPSS (OR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.79-0.89) and NS (OR, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.18-0.83) were independently associated with clinically meaningful changes of LUTS at 12 months after RARP.CONCLUSION:
Other than baseline LUTS severity, NS was the only independent factor associated with clinically meaningful changes in LUTS after RARP.Palavras-chave
