MADRID, Guillermo et al. Characteristics of patients undergoing robotic-assisted prostatectomy. Observational study. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2021, vol.49, n.4, e201. Epub 22-Ago-2021. ISSN 0120-3347. https://doi.org/10.5554/22562087.e984.
Introduction
Prostatectomy is the standard treatment for patients with clinically localized prostate cancer. Currently, robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is widely used for its advantages, as it provides better visualization, precision, and reduced tissue manipulation. However, RARP requires a multidisciplinary approach in which anesthesia and analgesia management are especially important.
Objective
This study aims to describe our experience delivering anesthesia for the first cases of patients undergoing RARP in a teaching hospital in Bogotá, Colombia.
Methodology
An observational study was conducted. We included all patients undergoing RARP from September 2015 to December 2019 at Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá. All patients with incomplete data were excluded. Patient demographics were recorded, and significant perioperative events were reviewed.
Results
A total of 301 patients were included. At our institution, the mean age for patients undergoing RARP was 61.4 ± 6.7 years. The mean operative time was 205 ± 43 min and mean blood loss was 300 [200400] mL. Only 6 (2%) patients required transfusion. Age and BMI were not associated with clinical outcomes.
Conclusions
An adequate perioperative approach in RARP is important to minimize complications, which in this study and in this institution were infrequent.
