Differences in self-reported outcomes of open prostatectomy patients and robotic prostatectomy patients in an international web-based survey

Qualitative Study on the Information Needs of Patients Undergoing Da Vinci Robotic Surgery

“…Departments and doctors should play an active role in the decision-making process of patients (Iftikhar & Abaalkhail, 2017). First, it is necessary to release correct and practical medical information through official media to avoid misleading patients with false information, which can result in a large information gap and cause doctor-patient contradictions (Hoogenbosch et al, 2018; O’Shaughnessy et al, 2013). Secondly, it is necessary to develop a high-quality robotic surgery information platform.…”

Nursing performance in robotic surgeries: integrative review

“…Only four articles (A3, A4, A16 and A17) approached the postoperative period (5,18,(27)(28) . In it, the nurse must be attentive to…”

“…A series of tasks is performed by the nursing staff: to verify the placement and function of pneumatic compression devices; to verify the equipment for an adequate function (19) ; when preparing the needs of each patient, knowing the surgery to which he/she underwent and possible alterations to prevent complications, so, the nurse working in the postoperative stage must have knowledge and qualified skills for the different demands and complexities of the patients. It is also part of the nurse's role to provide information and support to the patient, especially when it comes to robotic surgeries, because the patient may not be familiar with this new technology and create expectations that may end up frustrated (27) . Studies demonstrate the importance of providing guidance to patients after surgery, providing information regarding postoperative care (5,(27)(28) .…”

Transperineal intraprostatic injection of botulinum neurotoxin A vs transurethral resection of prostate for management of lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostate hyperplasia: A prospective randomised study

“…Surgical management of BPH is indicated in medical non-responders, presenting with advanced signs of BOO and obstructive uropathy [6]. Simple open prostatectomy was the traditional management option [7] for improving LUTS, but at the expense of considerable surgical and perioperative morbidity [8].…”
