ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To investigate the safety, feasibility and clinical efficacy of modified anterior robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) with preservation of Retzius space. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 10 patients who underwent RALRP using the modified anterior approach to preserve the Retzius space in our hospital during June 2021 and March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including the preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative and follow-up data. 【Results】 All operations were successful without conversion to open surgery. The average operation time (robotic arm operation time) was (98.6±47.7) min, blood loss (105.0±57.3) mL, postoperative drainage tube indwelling time (5.3±1.3) d, postoperative urinary catheter indwelling time (7.2±0.8) d, and postoperative hospital stay (9.2±2.2) d. Urinary continence was achieved immediately after removal of the urinary catheter in 6 patients, 2 patients recovered 2 weeks after extubation, and 2 patients recovered 3 months after extubation. Postoperative pathology showed pT2a stage in 1 case, pT2b stage in 2 cases, and pT2c stage in 7 cases; Gleason score was 6-7 points; all postoperative resection margins were negative. During the follow-up of 3-12 months, no tumor recurrence was observed, and no patient was readmitted due to surgical complications. 【Conclusion】 RALRP with modified anterior approach to preserve the Retzius space is safe and feasible, with no serious complications during and after surgery, and the early postoperative urinary continence effect is comparable to that of the posterior approach.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the surgical techniques and clinical applications of single-port transumlilical laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty for the treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). Methods From August 2009 to March 2010, 15 patients were treated with single-port transumbilical laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty. There were 12 males and 3 females,aged 12 to 55 years with an average age of 20 years, who were diagnosed by diuretic renography,IVU, and MRU et al. A single umbilical incision of 3. 5cm was made for single-port trocar and a flexible-tip 0°digital video-laparoscope was used in all cases. The procedures were performed according to the methods used in classical laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty with general instruments. ResultsAll operations were performed successfully without conversion to open surgery. The mean operative time was 90 (75-145) min, and the mean hospital stay length was 6 days. No organs injury occurred during operation, and no urine leakage was found afer operation. The symptoms of low back pain disappeared and hydronephrosis reduced apparently or dispeared without any anastomotic stenosis after follow-up of 4-6 months. Conclusions Single-port transumbilical laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty is feasible, effective and safe for the treatment of UPJO.
