Functional and oncological outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in obese men: a matched-pair analysis.
Journal of Robotic Surgery 2023 May 3
Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in men with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 35 kg/m2 is considered technically challenging. We conducted a retrospective matched-pair analysis to compare the oncological and functional outcomes of RARP in men with BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 . We interrogated our prospectively maintained RARP database and identified 1273 men who underwent RARP from January 2018 till June 2021. Among them, 43 had BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 , and 1230 had BMI < 35 kg/m2 . A 1:1 genetic matching was performed between these two groups for PSA, Gleason grades, clinical stage, D'Amico risk stratification, and nerve-spare extent. Continence rates and biochemical rates on 1-year follow-up were analysed. We performed statistical analysis using SPSS, and Paired tests were done using Wilcoxon sign rank-sum test. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The two groups were comparable in almost all parameters except for age. Console time (p = 0.20) and estimated blood loss (p > 0.90) were not significantly different. There was no blood transfusion, open conversion or (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ 3) intra/postoperative complication in either of the two groups. The two groups did not have any difference in biochemical recurrence rates (BCR) on 1-year follow-up (p > 0.90). Men with BMI ≥ 35 achieved continence rates equivalent to men with BMI < 35 within 1 year. On logistic regression analysis, age (p < 0.001) and extent of nerve sparing (p = 0.026) emerged as significant factors influencing continence recovery. RARP is safe in men with BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 . The 1-year continence and oncological outcomes are similar to matched men with BMI < 35 kg/m2 undergoing RARP.
