ABSTRACT
INTRODUCCIÓN: El cáncer de próstata es la segunda causa de muerte en hombres en Chile. La prostatectomía radical robo-asistida (RARP) se ha posicionado progresivamente como el tratamiento de elección en cáncer localizado pero se ha cuestionado tradicionalmente en pacientes con cirugía prostática previa, recomendación que pareciera no tener sustento en evidencia. OBJETIVO: Describir la evidencia actualmente disponible referente a resultados oncológicos y funcionales de prostatectomía radical robo-asistida en pacientes con cirugía prostática previa por hiperplasia prostática. Método: Revisión de la literatura publicada en la base de datos PUBMED entre el 1 de Enero del año 2008 hasta el 31 de Diciembre del año 2017. Se incluyen artículos que reporten resultados de pacientes con RARP tras cirugía prostática previa en cualquier modalidad sin límite de edad. RESULTADOS: Se encontraron un total de 1813 artículos. El total de estudios evaluados fue de 9 que en conjunto suman 297 pacientes. 7 artículos corresponden a series de casos y 2 a cohortes. Existen algunos artículos que informan mayor tiempo quirúrgico, sangrado intraoperatorio y porcentaje de márgenes positivos, sin embargo, el perfil de complicaciones perioperatorias y los resultados funcionales a largo plazo parecen no diferir de forma significativa respecto a los encontrados en pacientes sin cirugía prostática previa.
INTRODUCTION: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death in men in Chile. Robo-assisted radical prostatectomy has been progressively positioned as the treatment of choice in localized cancer but has been traditionally questioned in patients with previous prostate surgery, a recommendation that seems to have no support in evidence. OBJECTIVE: To describe the currently available evidence regarding oncological and functional results of robo-assisted radical prostatectomy in patients with previous prostatic surgery for prostatic benign hyperplasia. METHOD: Review of the literature published in the PUBMED database between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2017. Articles that report results of patients with RARP after previous prostate surgery in any modality are included with no age limit. RESULTS: A total of 1813 articles were found. The total number of studies evaluated was 9, which together total 297 patients. 7 articles correspond to case series and 2 to cohorts. There are some articles that report longer surgical time, intraoperative bleeding and percentage of positive margins, however, the perioperative complications profile and longterm functional results do not seem to differ significantly from those found in patients without previous prostatic surgery

PURPOSE: To compare the perioperative, short-term and long-term postoperative results of radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP), laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) and robotic assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) in the most recent studies evaluable. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using PubMed we have undertaken a search based on references from major and recent articles with considerable sample sizes. RESULTS: The operative blood loss and the risk of transfusion were lower in the laparoscopic and robotic-assisted approaches. The surgical duration was shorter in the open and robotic group. Regarding the positive margins, continence and potency no substantial differences between the RRP, LRP, and RALP were found. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that no one surgical approach is superior in terms of functional and early oncologic outcomes. Potential advantages of any surgical approach have to be confirmed through longer-term follow-up and adequately designed clinical studies.
