Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates early bleeding complications after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) in patients on blood-thinning medications, covering data from January 2020 to February 2023.
- The study categorizes patients into three groups based on their antithrombotic therapy: none, antiplatelet (AP), and anticoagulant (AC), and compares their postoperative outcomes.
- Findings indicate that while HoLEP is generally safe, patients on anticoagulants have a higher risk of minor bleeding complications, and those not on any therapy have shorter hospital stays and catheterization times.
Background: The aim of the work is to describe an original technique of posterior musculofascial reconstruction (PMFR) during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
Methods: From January 2015 to June 2016, 121 consecutives patients underwent RARP and were submitted to a novel technique of PMFR, using a single 3/0 barbed bidirectional (Filblock®, Assut Europe) suture. The first step of this new technique of PMFR, is to approximate the posterior layer of Denonvilliers fascia (DF) to the posterior part of the sphincteric apparatus.
Objectives: The aim of this study is to analyze the principal advantages of posterior muscolo-fascial reconstruction using knotless barbed sutures (BS) during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
Materials And Methods: We analyzed the available evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of principal BS (Quill SRS Angiotech Pharmaceuticals Inc., Vancouver, Canada; V-Loc Medtronic, Dublin, Ireland; STRATAFIX Ethicon Inc.
