Single-Port Extraperitoneal vs. Multiport Transperitoneal Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis.

Since the introduction of the purpose-built Single Port (SP) robotic platform, there has been an ongoing debate regarding its advantages compared to the established multi-port (MP) system. The goal of this present study is to compare the perioperative, oncological, and functional outcomes of SP Extraperitoneal robotic radical prostatectomy (RARP) versus that of MP Transperitoneal RARP approach at a high-volume tertiary center. Based on a retrospective review of the prospectively maintained IRB-approved database, 925 patients successfully underwent RARP by a single experienced robotic surgeon.

Predictors for selection of outpatient single-port robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

Objective: To evaluate the different perioperative variables that may serve as important clinical predictors when selecting patients for outpatient single-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (SP-RARP).

Patients And Methods: A retrospective review was performed on the Institutional Review Board-approved, prospectively maintained database to identify 485 consecutive patients who underwent SP-RARP between 2018 and 2023. A comparison analysis was performed on patients who were managed as outpatients vs inpatients following their respective SP-RARP.

Preoperative Prostate Magnetic Resonance Imaging-based Anatomical Predictors of Early Urinary Continence Following Single-port Transvesical Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomy.

Background And Objective: The introduction of the single-port (SP) robotic system has led to new approaches in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), such as the transvesical (TV) approach, offering high rates of early urinary continence. While previous studies of SP TV RARP have identified perioperative factors influencing continence outcomes, the impact of anatomical factors remains unexplored. This study aims to assess magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based anatomical predictors of urinary continence after SP TV RARP.
