Background: Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) has become the main surgical option for localized prostate cancer. We recently developed a new approach for RARP, passing through the pouch of Douglas and avoiding all the Retzius structures involved in continence and potency preservation. Objective: To report the functional and oncologic results of our first 200 patients operated on using this new approach. Design, setting, and participants: This was a prospective, noncontrolled case series including the first 200 consecutive patients undergoing this kind of surgery (January the 1st, 2010 to December the 31st, 2011). Surgical procedure: Retzius-sparing RARP. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: All perioperative, oncologic, and functional data were prospectively recorded. Potency was defined as an International Index of Erectile Function-5 questionnaire score >17; continence was defined as use of no pad or of one safety liner. Oncologic results were reported as positive surgical margins (PSM) and 1-yr biochemical disease-free survival (1y-bDFS). Recurrence was defined as a repeated prostate-specific antigen >0.2 ng/ml. Complications were graded according to the Clavien-Dindo system. The first 100 patients (group 1) were compared with the second 100 (group 2) to evaluate the learning curve effects. Results and limitations: The median patient age was 65 yr. Comparing the two groups, transfusions were needed in 8% versus 4% of cases in groups 1 and 2, respectively (p = 0.02). There was one Clavien-Dindo grade 3b in group 1 versus one grade 3a complication in group 2. In patients with pT2 disease, PSMs were recorded in 22.4% of those in group 1 versus 10.1% in group 2 (p = 0.045). 1y-bDFS was 89% in group 1 versus 92% in group 2. For groups 1 and 2, respectively, immediate continence was reached in 92% versus 90% of patients, and the 1-yr continence rate was 96% versus 96%. Considering the 77 potent patients aged <65 yr who underwent bilateral intrafascial nerve-sparing surgery, 40.4% of those in group 1 versus 40% of those in group 2 reached their first intercourse within 1 mo; at 1 yr of follow-up, these figures had increased to 81% versus 71%, respectively (p = 0.162). The main limitation of this study is its noncontrolled nature. Conclusions: We demonstrated Retzius-sparing RARP to be oncologically safe and to result in high early continence and potency rates. Long-term, prospective, comparative, and possibly randomized studies are needed. (C) 2013 European Association of Urology. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
