World J Urol 2024; 42:98. [PMID: 38393399 DOI: 10.1007/s00345-024-04778-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the surgical techniques and to analyse the outcomes of single-port robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (SP RASP) procedure for the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). METHODS Three databases (PubMed®, Web of Science™, and Scopus®) were queried to identify studies reporting on the technical aspects and outcomes of SP RASP. Different combinations of keywords were used, according to a free-text protocol, to identify retrospective and prospective studies, both comparative and non-comparative, systematic reviews (SR) and meta-analysis (MA) describing surgical techniques for SP RASP and the associated surgical and functional outcomes. RESULTS The transvesical approach represents the most common approach for SP RASP. A decrease in terms of estimated blood loss was observed when SP RASP was compared to open simple prostatectomy (OSP) and multi-port (MP) RASP. Furthermore, this technique allowed for a shorter length of hospital stay (LoS) and a lower post-operative complication rate, compared to OSP. Post-operative subjective and objective functional outcomes are satisfying and comparable to OSP and MP RASP. CONCLUSION SP RASP represents a safe and feasible approach for the surgical management of BPH. It provides comparable surgical and functional outcomes to MP RASP, enabling for minimal invasiveness, enhanced recovery, and potential for improving patient care.

Abstract
Since the advent of conventional multiport laparoscopic surgery, the prosperity of minimally invasive surgery has been thriving on the advancement of endoscopic techniques. Cosmetic superiority, recovery benefits, and noninferior surgical outcomes weigh single-incision laparoscopic surgery as a promising modality. Although there are surgical challenges posed by steep learning curve and technological difficulties, such as instruments collision, triangulation loss and limited retraction, the establishment of robotic surgical platform as a solution to all is inspiring. Furthermore, with enhanced instrument maneuverability and stability, robotic ergonomic innovations adopt the advantages of single-incision laparoscopic surgery and surmount its recognized barriers by introducing a novel combination, single-incision robotic-assisted surgery. As was gradually diffused in general surgery and other specialties, single-incision robotic-assisted surgery manifests privileges in noninferior clinical outcomes an satisfactory cosmetic effect among strictly selected patients, and has the potential of a preferable surgical option for minimally invasive surgery.

[PMID: 35851618 DOI: 10.1038/s41391-022-00566-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2022] [Revised: 05/09/2022] [Accepted: 06/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the initial perioperative outcomes of single-port transvesical simple prostatectomy (SP RASP) patients to those of open simple prostatectomy (OSP). PATIENTS AND METHODS Perioperative data from 42 consecutive patients with BPH who underwent SP RASP were prospectively reviewed. Similarly, data from forty-three consecutive patients who underwent the standard OSP, were retrospectively collected. Through direct suprapubic bladder access, prostatic enucleation was performed using the prostatic capsule as a landmark. Then a complete vesicourethral mucosal advancement flap was accomplished. OSP was performed according to the standard approach. Demographics, Intra- and perioperative data were analyzed and assessed with a descriptive analysis. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS Baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups, except for the preoperative median post-void residual volume, which was higher in the OSP group (p = 0.004). The SP RASP group had less intraoperative estimated blood loss (p < 0.001), no need for continuous bladder irrigation (p < 0.001), and less in-hospital opioid use (p < 0.001). Patients in the SP RASP group were discharged on postoperative day zero, compared to a median of 2 days for OSP (p < 0.001). The median Foley catheter duration was 7 days for SP RASP, compared to a median of 10 days for OSP (p < 0.001). SP RASP group had fewer postoperative complications, however, this did not reach statistical significance. CONCLUSION SP RASP is an alternative approach in treating surgical BPH. It may offer patients less morbidity in comparison to OSP.

Abstract
Objective: The da Vinci single-port (SP) platform represents the latest innovation in minimally invasive urologic surgery, and the adoption of this technology by urologists is increasing. In this article, we briefly describe the evolution of minimally invasive and single-site surgery, and offer a comprehensive review of the current literature on the SP platform. Materials and Methods: For relevant articles, three electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, were searched from their inception until August 15, 2022. The published literature to date within SP robotic surgery in urology will be discussed. Evidence Synthesis: There are relatively few high-quality studies on the SP system, but there are multiple case series describing unique indications and surgical approaches with the SP robot, demonstrating safety and feasibility in the hands of experienced robotic surgeons. There also are an increasing number of prospective, larger cohort studies comparing outcomes between SP and multiport (MP) approaches that show benefits of the SP system regarding improved cosmesis, postoperative pain control, and decreased length of stay. Conclusions: Multiple prospective studies have shown benefits regarding cost and pain control for SP platform procedures compared to the traditional MP robotic approach. While its high cost and learning curve represent barriers to adoption, the SP platform represents a critical development in minimally invasive surgery. As this technology is further implemented at more institutions, long-term, high-quality data should accrue that will demonstrate its true value.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare robot-assisted simple prostatectomy intraoperative and postoperative.ßoutcomes between single-port (SP) and multiport (MP) robotic systems in a multi-institutional setting. METHODS We analyzed all-consecutive robot-assisted simple prostatectomy cases done in 5 centers from January 2017 to October 2022. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and compared with appropriate tests depending on the type of variable and distribution. Statistical significance was considered when P.ß<.05. RESULTS A total of 405 cases were analyzed:.ß249 and 156 were MP and SP, respectively. Operative times were similar between groups (P.ß=.ß.62). Estimated blood loss during surgery was significantly lower with the SP robot (P.ß<.001). Postoperatively, the SP approach required a significantly shorter hospital stay, less use of opioids, and a shorter duration of Foley catheter (P.ß<.001). There was no significant difference between the post-operative Clavien-Dindo ...3 complication rate (P.ß=.ß.30). The 30-day readmission rate of MP (10.8%) was significantly higher than for SP (0%) (P.ß<.001). De novo urge incontinence was more common in the MP group (P.ß=.ß.02). CONCLUSION The SP robotic approach to simple prostatectomy is advantageous when it comes to postoperative comfort for patients. Specifically, it requires a shorter hospital stay, less use of opioids, and a shorter Foley catheter duration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare perioperative outcomes between Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), open simple prostatectomy (OSP), and robotic simple prostatectomy (RSP) for large prostates (> 80 cc). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study of 340 patients who underwent HoLEP (n = 209), OSP (n = 66), or RSP (n = 65) at a large academic medical center between January 2013 - September 2021 was performed. Length of stay (LOS), operative time, catheter duration, estimated blood loss (EBL), blood transfusion, and 30-day ED visits and readmissions were compared between the three groups. Univariate analyses consisted of ANOVA with Tukey's corrections and Chi-square tests. Linear and multivariate logistic regression was also performed. All tests were two-sided and a p-value <0.05 was pre-determined to be statistically significant. Analyses were performed with SAS v9.4. RESULTS HoLEP was found to have the shortest: operative time (1.4 vs 2.7 vs 3.8h), LOS (0.65 vs 4.2 vs 2.6d), and catheter duration (0.38 vs 9.9 vs 11.2d) compared to OSP and RSP, respectively (all P <.0001). HoLEP also had the lowest EBL (66 vs 795 vs 326 mL, P <.0001). HoLEP and RSP had a lower risk of blood transfusion compared to OSP (P <.0001). These associations remained significant on multivariable analyses. CONCLUSION HoLEP is a minimally invasive treatment option for large prostates that was found to have shorter operative time, LOS, and catheter duration as well as lower EBL compared to OSP and RSP.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the risk of urinary incontinence (UI) after various prostate enucleation procedures (PEP). METHODS PubMed was searched from January 2000 to July 2021 for studies investigating UI after PEP. The articles were divided into 5 subgroups: holmium, thulium, greenlight laser, electrocautery, and simple prostatectomy. Meta-analysis was performed to examine rate of stress (SUI), urge (UUI) or unspecified UI at short (< 3 months), intermediate (3-6 months), and long-term (> 6 months). The impact of age, prostate size, surgery time, laser time, postoperative nadir PSA level and technical modifications on UI was analyzed. RESULTS Most (69.4%) of 49 articles included employed holmium laser. There was no significant difference in incidence of short-, intermediate-, and long-term UI, SUI and UUI between five sub-groups and within different technical modifications. Although not statistically significant, the incidence of UI was higher (15%) at short-term with green-light and simple prostatectomy (95% CI 9-23 and 1-84), and higher (4%) at intermediate-term with holmium laser (95% CI 2-8). SUI was more prevalent at short-term with holmium laser (4%; 95% CI 2-5%), and at intermediate term with simple prostatectomy (3%; 95% CI 1-14). UUI was higher in the thulium group (10%, 95% CI 7-16). Increased age, surgery time, laser time and prostate size up to 80 cc were associated with higher UI. There was no correlation between postoperative PSA and UI. CONCLUSIONS There is no significant difference in incidence of UI, SUI and UUI after various PEP. Patients age, prostate size, surgery and laser time are linearly associated with UI.

Abstract
Abstract
Because of the increasing use of laparoscopic surgeries, robotic technologies have been developed to overcome the challenges these surgeries impose on surgeons. This paper presents an overview of the current state of surgical robots used in laparoscopic surgeries. Four main categories were discussed: handheld laparoscopic devices, laparoscope positioning robots, master–slave teleoperated systems with dedicated consoles, and robotic training systems. A generalized control block diagram is developed to demonstrate the general control scheme for each category of surgical robots. In order to review these robotic technologies, related published works were investigated and discussed. Detailed discussions and comparison tables are presented to compare their effectiveness in laparoscopic surgeries. Each of these technologies has proved to be beneficial in laparoscopic surgeries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) has emerged as a safe surgical treatment for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia with large glands (>80 ml). Several studies reported on perioperative outcomes of RASP by the standard multiport (MP) da Vinci robotic system approach. Studies conducted on RASP utilizing the novel single-port da Vinci® SP robotic platform (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA) are scarce. We aimed to compare intraoperative and short-term postoperative outcomes between the da Vinci MP and SP robots for patients undergoing RASP in a referral center. METHODS In this retrospective study, we reviewed all patients who underwent RASP using MP or SP robot from September, 2016 to March, 2021. Intraoperative data, overall 30-day complications, complications by Clavien-Dindo classification and 90-day readmission and reoperation rates were assessed and compared between the two groups using appropriate statistical methods. RESULTS Seventy-five patients who underwent RASP were identified. Of these, 47 were in the MP group and 28 were in the SP. Compared to SP, mean operative time in MP group was 216.6 vs. 232.4 minutes (p=0.39), EBL was 195.7 vs. 227.1 ml (p=0.43) and length of stay was 2 vs. 2.5 days (p=0.45). There was a trend toward higher overall complication rate in SP group vs. MP (42.86% vs. 21.28%, p=0.09). There were no significant differences in the readmission (17.02% vs. 10.71%, p=0.52) and reoperation (2.1% vs. 7.14%, p=0.34) rates between MP vs. SP group. CONCLUSION SP-RASP is safe and shows equivalent perioperative outcomes when compared to the MP robotic system. A marginal increase of complication rate was recorded in the SP group; however, this did not demonstrate statistical significance.

Abstract
For large prostate volume, open simple prostatectomy (OSP) or holmium laser enucleation are the gold standard surgical treatment medical therapy failure. Robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) has recently been proposed as an alternative to OSP and endoscopic techniques. Our objective was to describe our extraperitoneal RASP technique for patients with benign prostate obstruction (BPO), and to report on perioperative and mid-term functional outcomes. Data were collected prospectively for all consecutive patients who underwent RASP in our high-volume tertiary hospital over a 6-year period. International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) and uroflow findings were compared before and after surgery. Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes were also assessed. Forty-seven patients were included in the study. There was no intraoperative incident and no blood transfusion was needed after surgery. Median time to bladder catheter removal was 4 days and patients were discharged the day after. Within 90 postoperative days, 6 patients (12%) experienced at least one complication, all low-grade except one (2.1%) which was Clavien IIIa grade. By univariate analysis, the only risk factor for postoperative complications was the Charlson comorbidity index (OR = 2.1, 95% CI = [1.1-4.7], p = 0.04). At 12 months, a significant improvement IPSS and uroflow rate was observed. No patient reported stress urinary incontinence. Extraperitoneal RASP appears to be a safe and effective technique for men with LUTS related to large BPO. RASP is less invasive than OSP and wide diffusion of the robot-system could lead to the rapid implementation of RASP as a treatment for large prostate.

Yang M, Peng J, Wang X, Lei H, Li X, Yang K. Reinforcing the effect of microsurgery practice during robotic suturing skill acquisition. Int J Med Robot 2021; 18:e2350. [PMID: 34773438 DOI: 10.1002/rcs.2350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2021] [Revised: 10/06/2021] [Accepted: 11/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of microsurgery practice during an interval in robotic surgical training. METHODS Two participant groups with 30 trainees each practiced Thread the Rings 1 on a dV-Trainer. There were four 2-h training sessions, with a 72-h interval between each session. Group A received no additional training during the study period. During every interval, Group B practiced a similar 2-h ring penetration exercise using a microscope three times (once every 24 h). RESULTS The 72-h delay between two sessions for Group A caused the forgetting effect. For Group B, additional microscope-based training aided memory retention. After the training session, Group B presented a significantly higher score than Group A in Thread the Ring 1 learning curves. CONCLUSIONS Adding microsurgical skill training into the basic robotic-surgery training curriculum could be helpful because additional trainings with a binocular microscope could improve robotic surgical skill levels.

Abstract
PURPOSE To review safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) compared to open simple prostatectomy (OP). MATERIALS AND METHODS A comprehensive literature search was performed to assess the differences in perioperative course and functional outcomes in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and surgical indication. The incidences of complications were pooled using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel Method and expressed as odds ratio (OR), 95% confidence interval (CI), and p-values. Perioperative course and functional outcomes were pooled using the inverse variance of the mean difference (MD), 95% CI, and p-values. Analyses were two-tailed and the significance was set at p<0.05. RESULTS Eight studies were accepted. Meta-analysis showed significantly longer surgical time (MD, 43.72; 95% CI, 30.57-56.88; p<0.00001) with a significantly lower estimated blood loss (MD, -563.20; 95% CI, -739.95 to -386.46; p<0.00001) and shorter postoperative stay (MD, -2.85; 95% CI, -3.72 to -1.99; p<0.00001) in RASP. Catheterization time did not differ (MD, 0.65; 95% CI, -2.17 to 3.48; p=0.65). The risk of blood transfusion was significantly higher in OP (OR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.17-0.33; p<0.00001). The risk of recatheterization (OR, 1.96; 95% CI, 0.32-11.93; p=0.47), postoperative urinary infections (OR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.23-3.51; p=0.87) and 30-day readmission rate (OR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.61-1.51; p=0.86) did not differ. At 3-month follow-up, functional outcomes were similar. CONCLUSIONS RASP demonstrated a better perioperative outcome and equal early functional outcomes as compared to OP. These findings should be balanced against the longer operative time and higher cost of robotic surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Robot-assisted laparoscopic simple prostatectomy (RASP) is being used increasingly for the surgical treatment of benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). Our purpose is to review the main outcomes of RASP for the management of BPO. RECENT FINDINGS A computerised bibliographic search of Medline was performed for articles that included detailed results of RASP, published over the past 2 years. Although RASP seems to be associated with better perioperative and functional outcomes, this procedure remains expensive when compared to open or endoscopic surgery. However, considering the enhanced safety of RASP compared to open simple prostatectomy and its favourable learning-curve when compared to endoscopic laser enucleation, RASP seems to be a good and effective option in centres with extended robotic expertise. Single-port robotic surgery appeared to be safe and effective in two preliminary studies. Other studies reported interesting and improved results for the preservation of ejaculatory function. SUMMARY Many RASP techniques have been developed, with the common goal of improving the quality of life of patients. Although the cost of RASP is higher than open surgery, the perioperative benefits of the robotic approach make RASP a favourable option in centres with extended robotic expertise.

Abstract
Introduction: The use of a robotic surgical system has transformed modern urological surgeries. There is little reported, however, on the use of robotic surgical systems in the management of benign urological diseases. We aim to report our experience in robotic-assisted surgery in renal calyceal diverticulectomies, heminephrectomy and bladder diverticulectomies. Methodology: We retrospectively collected the data of patients who had robotic-assisted surgery in our institution from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2019. Results: Over the last five years, our institution has performed over 1500 robotic-assisted urological surgeries. In this five-year period, four robotic surgeons have performed a total of 25 robotic assisted operations to treat benign urological diseases including three renal calyceal diverticulectomies, one heminephrectomy and two bladder diverticulectomies. All patients were satisfied with the outcomes of their surgery when reviewed at their follow up consultations. Conclusion: We report a very positive experience in using robotic surgical systems in managing our series of benign urological conditions in our hospital. We should not restrict the use of this tool to cancer surgery, but consider the technology in our surgical armamentarium for all aspects of our urological practice.

Single-port robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy is associated with decreased post-operative narcotic use in a propensity score matched analysis. J Robot Surg 2021; 16:295-300.

Abstract
Robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) has proven to be an effective minimally invasive option for benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) in recent years. Single-site surgery is theorized to reduce post-operative pain beyond traditional minimally invasive approaches. We sought to assess whether use of a single-port robotic platform decreases post-operative opioid use in patients undergoing robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP). A retrospective review was performed of all patients undergoing RASP our institution from November 2017 to July 2019. Demographic, intraoperative, and post-operative data, including morphine equivalent (ME) use, were collected. Patients were stratified by robotic platform utilized. Propensity score matching using nearest neighbor method was performed using prostate volume, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), and post-op ketorolac use in 4:1 fashion. Chi-squared analysis and Kruskal-Wallis analyses were utilized. Two-hundred-and-seven men underwent RASP. After matching, 80 patients (64 multi-port, 16 single-port) were included in the analysis. Groups were comparable for age, body mass index, CCI, prostate volume, prior opioid use, and use of scheduled ketorolac post op. The single-port approach was associated with a reduction in MEs once admitted to the floor (5 vs. 11 mg, p = 0.025) and an increase in the proportion of patients who did not require any narcotics post-operatively (44 vs. 19%, p = 0.036). In a propensity matched cohort of patients undergoing RASP at a single institution, use of the single-port robotic system conferred a significant decrease in post-operative narcotic use by approximately 50%.

Abstract
PURPOSE To provide a comprehensive review on the new da Vinci SP (single port) robotic surgical system. The published literature to date within urology and a description of the new system will be discussed. FINDINGS There are currently no high-quality published studies with the SP robotic system. All studies are case series, many with 10 or fewer patients. However, all studies have found the SP system to be safe and feasible in performing most urological procedures. Renal and pelvic surgery using the SP robotic system is safe and feasible in the hands of expert robotic surgeons. Long-term, high-quality data is lacking. While the current high price and the learning curve will limit the SP systems' use in many health care systems, new updates and the release of robotic surgical systems from other developers may help drive down costs and encourage uptake.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Robotic surgical technology has evolved to include a new platform specifically designed for the single-port (SP) approach. Benefits of the da Vinci SP are still under investigation. This study aimed to review the urological literature since the first report of the use of the platform. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION We performed a systematic literature review of PubMed, Medline, and Web of Science databases on June 15, 2020 searching for all available articles of da Vinci SP use from December 2014 (date of the first clinical report of da Vinci SP in the urology) until June 1, 2020 following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) Guidelines. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS A total of 43 articles were eligible for inclusion. Ten studies reported different surgeries and techniques on cadavers while the rest described the clinical experience of different groups. We divided our article and tables into preclinical experience with surgery on cadavers, radical prostatectomy (RP) approach, and multiple types of procedures described in the same study. CONCLUSIONS The application of da Vinci SP in urologic procedures after five years of the first clinical investigation is feasible and safe. Radical prostatectomy is the most common intervention performed with this robot. Some groups described benefits in terms of less postoperative pain and early discharge, especially with the extraperitoneal approach. However, further studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up are awaited.

Abstract
The global numbers of robotic gastrointestinal surgeries are increasing. However, the evidence base for robotic gastrointestinal surgery does not yet support its widespread adoption or justify its cost. The reasons for its continued popularity are complex, but a notable driver is the push for innovation - robotic surgery is seen as a compelling solution for delivering on the promise of minimally invasive precision surgery - and a changing commercial landscape delivers the promise of increased affordability. Novel systems will leverage the robot as a data-driven platform, integrating advances in imaging, artificial intelligence and machine learning for decision support. However, if this vision is to be realized, lessons must be heeded from current clinical trials and translational strategies, which have failed to demonstrate patient benefit. In this Perspective, we critically appraise current research to define the principles on which the next generation of gastrointestinal robotics trials should be based. We also discuss the emerging commercial landscape and define existing and new technologies.

Abstract
Contemporary minimally invasive surgical (MIS) treatment options of patients with male Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in men with prostate glands >80 mL include Holmium Laser Enucleation Prostate (HoLEP), Thulium laser VapoEnucleation Prostate (ThuVEP), and Laparoscopic (LSP) or Robotic-Assisted Simple Prostatectomy (RASP). Implementing new laser technologies is costly, and the steep learning curve of these laser techniques limit their wide range use. This promoted the use of LSP and RASP in centers with readily established laparoscopy or robotic surgery programs. The aim of this study is to review case and comparative series of RASP. We systematically reviewed published data from 2008 to 2020 on RASP and have identified 26 non-comparative and 9 comparative case series. RASP has longer operation time but less time spent in hospital and less blood loss. The outcomes of improvements in symptom score, post-voiding residual urine (PVR), postoperative PSA decline, complications, and cost are similar when compared to open and laser enucleation techniques. These outcomes position RASP as a viable MIS treatment option for patients with male LUTS needing surgical treatment for enlarged prostates. Nevertheless, prospective, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with multicenter and large sample size are needed to confirm the findings of this systematic review.

Abstract
Increasingly many studies have presented robotic simple prostatectomy (RSP) as a surgical treatment option for large benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) weighing 80-100 g or more. In this review, some frequently used RSP techniques are described, along with an analysis of the literature on the efficacy and complications of RSP and differences in treatment results compared with other surgical methods. RSP has the advantage of a short learning curve for surgeons with experience in robotic surgery. Severe complications are rare in patients who undergo RSP, and RSP facilitates the simultaneous treatment of important comorbid diseases such as bladder stones and bladder diverticula. In conclusion, RSP can be recommended as a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for large BPH.
