Article Synopsis
- Intraoperative hypotension is a significant issue during photodynamic diagnosis-assisted transurethral resection of bladder tumors, particularly when using oral 5-aminolevulinic acid, prompting a re-evaluation of its safety.
- A study involving 407 cases highlighted that patients in the photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) group experienced more moderate to severe hypotension compared to the white light (WL) group, with renal function declining as hypotension severity increased.
- Findings suggest that anesthesia type may influence hypotension severity, with general anesthesia linked to milder cases and spinal anesthesia associated with severe cases, indicating a need for further research to understand specific risk factors better.
Background/aim: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Moreover, this study focused on postoperative abdominal symptoms and compared the perioperative parameters between the ERAS and conventional groups in RARP patients.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 37 consecutive prostate cancer patients who underwent RARP between January 2020 and September 2021.
