Comparación de los resultados perioperatorios de la cistectomía radical asistida por robot con derivación urinaria extracorpórea vs. Intracorpórea / Comparison of perioperative outcomes and complications of robot assisted radical cystectomy with extracorporeal vs intracorporeal urinary diversion

RESUMEN

Objetivos: Comparar los resultados perioperatorios y las complicaciones de la cistectomía radical asistida por robot (CRAR) con derivación urinaria extracorpórea (DUEC) vs. intracorpórea (DUIC). Material y métodos: Revisión retrospectiva de 43 pacientes sometidos a CRAR por tumor vesical entre 2015-2018 con seguimiento mínimo de 3 meses. Se analizó la serie inicial de CRAR realizada por un cirujano con amplia experiencia en cistectomía radical abierta. Resultados: Cuarenta y tres pacientes, 40 hombres (93%) y 3 mujeres (7%), con mediana de edad de 65 años (44-83) y seguimiento medio de 27,7 meses (± 20,1) fueron sometidos a CRAR. Se realizó DUEC en 22 casos (51%), 10 conductos ileales (45,5%) y 12 neovejigas (54,5%), y DUIC en 21 (49%), 14 conductos ileales (66,7%) y 7 neovejigas (33,3%). Las características clínicas y preoperatorias fueron comparables entre grupos. La mediana de tiempo operatorio fue 360minutos (240-540) y de estancia hospitalaria 12 días (7-73). Treinta y cinco pacientes (81%) presentaron complicaciones postoperatorias, de las cuales 10 (23%) fueron mayores. No se encontraron diferencias en tiempo operatorio, complicaciones perioperatorias, estadificación patológica, márgenes y número de ganglios extirpados entre DUEC y DUIC. Los pacientes sometidos a DUEC presentaron mayor tasa de estenosis uretero-ileal en comparación con la DUIC (45,5% vs. 14,3%, p = 0,026). En las neovejigas la DUEC presentó mayor tasa de estenosis uretroneovesical que la DUIC (33% vs. 0%, p = 0,044). Conclusiones: La CRAR con derivación urinaria intracorpórea ofrece resultados perioperatorios y complicaciones comparables a la extracorpórea. La derivación intracorpórea podría reducir el riesgo de desarrollar estenosis ureteroileal y uretroneovesical

ABSTRACT

Objectives: To compare perioperative outcomes and complications of robot assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with extracorporeal (ECUD) vs. intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) for bladder cancer. Material and methods: Retrospective revision of 43 patients who underwent RARC for bladder cancer between 2015 and 2018 with at least 3 months of follow-up. The analysis included the initial series of RARC performed by one surgeon with extensive experience in open radical cystectomy. Results: Forty-three patients, 40 men (93%) and 3 women (7%), with a median age of 65 years (44-83) and mean follow-up of 27.7 months (±20.1) underwent RARC. A ECUD was performed in 22 cases (51%), of whom 10 were ileal conduits (45.5%) and 12 neobladders (54.5), and ICUD in 21 cases (49%), of whom 14 were ileal conduits (66.7%) and 7 neobladders (33.3%). Clinical and preoperative characteristics were similar in both groups. The median operative time was 360 min (240-540) and length of hospital stay was 12 days (7-73). Thirty-five patients (81%) had postoperative complications, of whom 10 (23%) were major. Operative time, peroperative complications, pathological stage, positive margins, and number of lymph nodes removed did not significantly differ among groups. Patients who underwent ECUD had a higher rate of uretero-ileal strictures than those with ICUD (45.5% vs. 14.3%, p = 0.026). Among the neobladders, the ECUD developed a higher rate of urethro-neobladder stricture than the ICUD (33% vs. 0%, p = 0.044). Conclusions: RARC with ICUD achieved peroperative outcomes and complication rates comparable than those with ECUD. The ICUD could reduce the risk of developing uretero-ileal and urethro-neobladder strictures
