Elevated prostate volume is considered to negatively influence postoperative outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). We aim investigate the of on readmissions and complications RARP.A total 500 consecutive patients who underwent RARP between April 2019 August 2022 were included. Patients dichotomized into two groups using a cut-off 50 mL (small normal (SNP) n = 314, 62.8%; large 186, 37.2%). Demographic, baseline, perioperative data analyzed. The readmission rates within...
Objectives Robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has become the therapy of choice for local treatment prostate cancer. Postoperatively, urologists perform cystography before removing urinary catheters due to concerns about integrity vesicourethral anastomosis. This study aims evaluate safety waiving early catheter removal after RARP. Methods A total 514 patients from two tertiary referral centers who underwent RARP were retrospectively included. Patients received postoperative drainage...
Introduction After the outbreak of COVID-19 unprecedented changes in healthcare systems worldwide were necessary resulting a reduction urological capacities with postponements consultations and surgeries. Material methods An email was sent to 66 hospitals focus on robotic surgery (RS) including link questionnaire (e.g. bed/staff capacity, surgical caseload, protection measures during RS) that covered three time points: representative baseline week prior COVID-19, March 16th-22nd April...
Due to more difficult intraoperative courses, elevated rates of case abortion and unfavored postoperative outcomes in obese patients, urologists tend consider other therapeutic modalities than prostate removal very patients. With the surge robotic surgery last two decades, patients have undergone robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Objective: This current, monocentric, retrospective serial study investigates primarily impact obesity on readmissions secondarily major complications...
Since the beginning of pandemic in 2020, COVID-19 has changed medical landscape. International recommendations for localized prostate cancer (PCa) include deferred treatment and adjusted therapeutic routines.To longitudinally evaluate changes PCa strategies urological radiotherapy departments Germany, a link to survey was sent 134 institutions covering two representative baseline weeks prior 13 from March 2020 February 2021. The questionnaire captured numbers radical prostatectomies,...
Longer operating time in radical prostatectomy may increase the risk of perioperative complications. Various factors such as cancer extent, procedure’s level difficulty, habitus and previous surgeries lengthen robot-assisted (RARP) therefore compromise outcomes. Objective: this study investigates influence on outcomes after RARP real life settings a monocentric single surgeon study. Methods: total 500 sequential patients who were operated between April 2019 August 2022 involved. Men...
Abstract Background and Objectives: Prostate cancer patients often have other health conditions take anticoagulants. It was believed that surgery under anticoagulants could worsen surgical results. This study aims to explore the safety of robot-assisted prostatectomy in anticoagulated patients, without any exclusion criteria. Methods : The included 500 who underwent RARP by a single surgeon between April 2019 August 2022. Patients were divided into two groups: Group 1, consisting 376 men...
Symptomatic lymphocele remains a relevant complication after pelvic tumor surgery. This study aims to investigate how the number of lymph nodes removed may influence postoperative outcomes and if it increases probability detecting node metastasis.

Robotic surgery is increasingly utilized in the treatment of urothelial carcinoma upper urinary tract (UTUC). This study investigates advantages and burden robot-assisted surgical a referral urological department, along with their functional oncological results.
Depressive symptoms (DS) may interfere with comprehensive geriatric care (CGC), the specific multimodal treatment for older patients. In view of this, aim current study was to investigate extent which DS occur in hospitalized patients scheduled CGC and analyze associated factors. Furthermore, we aimed whether are relevant respect outcomes after CGC.For this retrospective study, all fulfilling inclusion criteria were selected by reviewing case files. The main criterion completion within...
Neoadjuvant hormonal therapy (NHT) preceding robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) may be beneficial in high-risk cases to facilitate surgical resection. Yet, its improvement local tumor control is not obvious. Its benefit regarding overall cancer survival also evident, and it worsen sexual functions. This study explores the effect of NHT on perioperative course after RARP. In this study, 500 patients from a tertiary referral center who underwent RARP by specialized surgeon were...

Abstract Objectives: A significant part of men have had a Transurethral Resection the Prostate (TURP) Prior to Robot Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer. Numerous studies reported inferior perioperative, oncological, and functional outcomes in those patients. Some authors even recommended open approach treat such challenging cases. This study investigates impact previous TURP on perioperative course after RARP single surgeon cohort 500 consecutive Methods: Data patients...
