BMI Impact on Readmissions for Patients Undergoing Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: A Monocentric, Single-Surgeon Serial Analysis of 500 Cases

Mahmoud Farzat,

et al.

Abstract: Due to more difficult intraoperative courses, elevated rates of case abortion and unfavored postoperative outcomes in obese patients, urologists tend to consider other therapeutic modalities than prostate removal in very obese patients. With the surge in robotic surgery in the last two decades, more obese patients have undergone robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Objective: This current, monocentric, retrospective serial study investigates primarily the impact of obesity on readmissions and secondari… Show more

“…Since there are no common guidelines regarding the interventions for lymphoceles, the institutional standard operating procedures (SOPs), including indication (e.g., pain, concomitant thrombosis, fever, elevated inflammatory parameters) as well as the approach to lymphocele treatment (e.g., percutaneous puncture, drainage, and operative fenestration), may vary significantly between different institutions. As a consequence, the overall major postoperative complications rates after radical prostatectomy are extremely variable between different institutions and ranged from 3% to 13% in previous studies [6,9,11,31,32]. In our series, complications were recorded prospectively in the electronic medical records of each patient, which might have led to a higher short-term major postoperative complication rate than in other comparable studies.…”
