Early outcomes of single-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: lessons learned from the learning-curve experience

Marcio Covas Moschovas et al.

Summary: This study described the implementation of the da Vinci single-port (SP) system for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and its early outcomes. Results showed that the procedure was technically safe and feasible, with acceptable short-term functional and oncological outcomes. However, there is a technical learning curve due to the smaller operative field and decreased instrument flexibility.

Comparing the Approach to Radical Prostatectomy Using the Multiport da Vinci Xi and Single-port da Vinci SP Robots: A Propensity Score Analysis of Perioperative Outcomes

Marcio Covas Moschovas et al.

Summary: This study compared intraoperative and short-term postoperative outcomes for patients undergoing radical prostatectomy using the da Vinci Xi and single-port da Vinci SP robots. The SP group had longer operative time but satisfactory intraoperative performance and lower complication rates. Longer-term follow-up is needed to further evaluate the impact on functional and oncological outcomes.

A Predictive Preoperative and Postoperative Nomogram for Postoperative Potency Recovery after Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy

K. R. Seetharam Bhat et al.

Summary: The study proposes preoperative and postoperative nomograms to predict potency recovery following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). By considering preoperative and postoperative factors, the nomograms accurately predict the probability of potency recovery within 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery.

Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy Maneuvers to Attenuate Erectile Dysfunction: Technical Description and Video Compilation

Spyridon P. Basourakos et al.

Summary: The study describes technical modifications to improve erectile function recovery after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), showing that alternative NS surgical techniques provide better outcomes compared to standard NS RARP. There is significant variation in RARP NS techniques and outcomes, with a need for well-designed randomized controlled trials to consistently evaluate and optimize sexual function outcomes after RARP.

Association of surgeon and hospital volume with short-term outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: Nationwide, population-based study

Rebecka Arnsrud Godtman et al.

Summary: The study found that in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, the surgical volume of both surgeons and hospitals was associated with peri-operative and short-term outcomes, with higher volume groups generally achieving better results. However, even with similar surgical volumes, there was a wide range in outcomes, indicating that factors other than volume also play a significant role in surgical outcomes.

Informing power and sample size calculations when using inverse probability of treatment weighting using the propensity score

Peter C. Austin

Summary: Propensity score weighting is used to estimate treatment effects in observational studies, with VIF being a key factor that affects sample size and power calculations. Estimation of VIF relies on knowledge of weights, which can be based on expected treatment prevalence and C-statistic of the propensity score model. VIF is substantially smaller for newer sets of weights compared to traditional sets, improving study design and reporting.

Nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: Current perspectives

Anup Kumar et al.

Summary: Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with nerve-sparing (NS) is the current standard of care for organ-confined prostate cancer, showing positive functional outcomes. However, there is still a lack of randomized studies to prove the superiority of one technique over the other, with preoperative risk assessments, baseline potency, surgical anatomy, and surgeons' expertise playing major roles in outcomes, necessitating a tailored approach for each patient undergoing NS-RARP.
