Filter by:The goal of this observational study was to compare the perioperative outcomes, postoperative urinary control rates and positive surgical margin (PSM) rates of the robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy combined anterior and posterior approach (AP-RARP) with the Retzius-sparing approach (RS-RARP) and anterior approach (anterior-RARP) in the treatment of prostate cancer. The main question it aims to answer was: • The early therapeutic efficacy of the robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy combined anterior and posterior approach Participants has been underwent: - AP-RARP - RS-RARP - anterior-RARP Researchers compared the three groups to see if AP-RARP combines the advantages of anterior and posterior RARP and is a feasible surgical option for the treatment of prostate cancer.
Aim: This study was conducted to determine the effect of pelvic floor exercises (PTE) on urinary incontinence and quality of life (QOL) after radical prostatectomy (RP). Methods: This randomized controlled, single-blind, experimental study was completed with a total of 33 RP patients, 18 of whom were interventions, and 15 were controls. The intervention group was given pelvic floor exercises (PTE) training in the preoperative period, regular PTE was performed three times a day for six months in the postoperative period, and the continuity of the exercises was checked by telephone. On the other hand, no intervention was applied to the control group other than routine treatment.
This study aimed to investigate the analgesic efficacy of rectus sheath block and its effect on urethral catheter discomfort in robotic prostatectomy operations.
Current trends are based on the implementation of enhanced recovery programs (ERP) for most surgical procedures. The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block has been demonstrated as an effective analgesic alternative in abdominal surgeries. The goal of this study was to compare analgesic efficacy of the TAP block against epidural technique in patients who underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) surgery in an ERP setting. This study was performed between October 2016 and May 2018
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the use of intraoperative nerve monitoring during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) can predict and improve post-surgery urinary continence and erectile function.
Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer between male population and urinary incontinence (UI) is the most common of long-term sequelae. Nowadays, robotic prostatectomy became the surgery standard but there is still discrepant results regards the incidence of UI and there is a lack of studies about the use of pelvic floor rehabilitation in this population. Our study aims to assesses the efficacy of preoperative educational method in urinary incontinence after robotic prostatectomy.
The rationale behind this RCT is to assess within 24 hours after surgery the quality of recovery of prostatectomy patients treated with 3 different analgesia concepts (intraoperative spinal analgesia, transversus abdominis plane block, intravenous lidocaine administration) using the quality of recovery (QoR) 15 questionnaire.
The purpose of the study is to compare the effect of two surgical techniques (open vs robotic assisted) on plasma levels of NGAL (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin) after radical prostatectomy.
Erectile dysfunction persists in approximately 80% of men 1 year after prostatectomy. Various erectile rehabilitation strategies have not provided benefit. Electrical stimulation has been demonstrated to benefit neuroregeneration and the functional recovery of neuromuscular systems. Therefore, electrical stimulation of the cavernosal nerves during radical prostatectomy is being investigated for its potential development into a treatment aimed at improving recovery of erectile function after prostatectomy. This pilot study is intended to determine the threshold of electrical stimulation that results in penile erection, as defined by persistent intracavernosal pressure increase, such that future studies of sub-threshold stimulation may be pursued.
This study will investigate if a single shot of spinal morphine will increase patient satisfaction when compared to intravenous morphine in Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy
