Article Synopsis
- The surgical training landscape is shifting from traditional methods to more scientific ones, particularly in robot-assisted surgeries like radical prostatectomy (RARP), to enhance safety and efficiency.
- The review highlights a lack of standardized curricula for RARP training, despite the increasing adoption of robotic surgery and its associated risks, underscoring the need for structured training programs.
- Various training stages, including e-learning, virtual simulators, and hands-on labs, are essential to equip surgeons with the unique skills needed for successful robotic surgeries.
Objectives: This study aimed to test the association between of type and number of D'Amico high-risk criteria (DHRCs) with cancer-specific mortality (CSM) in high-risk prostate cancer patients treated with radical prostatectomy.
Materials And Methods: In the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2004-2016), we identified 31,281 radical prostatectomy patients with at least 1 DHRC, namely, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) >20 ng/mL (hrPSA), biopsy Gleason Grade Group (hrGGG) score of 4 and 5, or clinical tumor stage ≥T3 (hrcT). Multivariable Cox regression models and competing risks regression models (adjusting for other cause mortality) tested the association between DHRCs and 5-year CSM.
