Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the average 3-day hospital stay after robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and aimed to identify which patients could safely undergo the procedure on an outpatient basis without significant complications.
- Researchers analyzed data from 3,342 patients who had RAPN between 2010 and 2021, finding that overall complications occurred in almost 15% of cases, with significant complications occurring in about 3.6%.
- Key risk factors for early significant complications within 72 hours post-surgery included longer clamping times and higher ASA scores, leading to the conclusion that patients with ASA scores greater than 2 and a clamping time under 20 minutes could be good candidates for outpatient surgery.
Introduction: To compare robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in well-selected older patients with clinically localized prostate cancer, compared to a younger population. Primary endpoint was perioperative outcomes comparison and secondary endpoint were oncological and functional outcomes comparison to a younger population.
Methods: Single tertiary center cohort of consecutive patients treated with RARP (2017-2020) with retrospective analysis.
Introduction: Faced with the first wave of Covid-19 pandemic, guidelines for surgical triage were developed to free up healthcare resources. The aim of our study was to assess clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of triaged patients during the first Covid-19 crisis.
Method: We conducted a cohort-controlled, non-randomized, study in a University Hospital of south-eastern France.
Introduction: The development of robot-assisted urological surgery is held back by the lack of robust medico-economic analyses and their heterogeneity. We conducted a medico-economic study to evaluate the implementation of measures to optimize the transition to robotic surgery.
Method: We carried out a single-center, controlled study from the point of view of the public healthcare establishment for 4 years.
Purpose: To compare off-clamp vs on-clamp robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in terms of oncological outcomes, and to assess the impact of surgical experience (SE).
Methods: We extracted data of a contemporary cohort of 1359 patients from the prospectively maintained database of the French national network of research on kidney cancer (UROCCR). The primary objective was to assess the positive surgical margin (PSM) rate.
