Factors influencing unplanned re-operation of prostatic cancer and its countermeasures / 中华泌尿外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the main causes for unplanned re-operation of prostatic cancer.Methods The clinical data of 4 patients with prostatic cancer who underwent an unplanned re-operation were analyzed retrospectively between September 2014 and July 2019 in our hospital.Preoperative data of patients was collected as followsmean age of 65 years,ranged from 56 to 71 years.tPSA ranged from 5.17-13.20 ng/ml.Gleason score of 3 + 3 in 1 case,3 +4 in 2 cases,4 +4 in 1 case.pTNM pT2a in 2 Cases,pT2b in 2 cases.LRP(extraperitoneal approach) in 1 case,RARP(transperitoneal approach) in 3 cases.Results The main causes for unplanned re-operation were as followsperioperative hemodynamic instability(75％,3/4),post-operative fever(25％,1/4).All 4 re-operations were performed by urologists using Laparoscopic exploration of abdomen.Conclusions Inadequate and inappropriate surgical hemostasis are the key to lead a second-look surgery of prostatic cancer.A complete hemostasis could help to lower the re-operation rate.Laparoscopic exploration of abdomen could be one of the choices to deal with re-operation after minimally invasive radical prostatectomy.
