Abstrakt: Objectives: To report the outcome of all robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) in the public health care system in Hong Kong.
Patients and Methods: All patients who underwent RALP in the public health care system with at least 1 year of follow-up were evaluated. Data analysis included age, body mass index, preoperative prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, D'Amico risk category, operative details, pathologic stage, follow-up continence, potency, and biochemical recurrence.
Results: Between 2005 and 2009, 235 patients underwent RALP, with a mean age of 66.4±5.9 years and a mean preoperative PSA level of 11.0±10.5 ng/mL. Complications were 16 (7%) in total. There were 176 (74.9%) patients with pT(2) disease and 55 (23.4%) patients with pT(3) disease. The overall rate of positive surgical margins (PSM) was 20.7%. At postoperative 12 months, 72.5% of the patients were pad free. For those 83 preoperative potent patients having nerve-sparing surgery, the overall trifecta rate at 12 months was 37.3%. Multivariate analysis identified that pathologic T staging was significantly associated with PSM, with an odds ratio (OR) of 7.884 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.576-17.379; P<0.001) for the pT(3) group compared with the pT(2) group. When comparing D'Amico medium- and high-risk categories with low-risk categories, they were found to be significantly associated with biochemical failure (medium- compared with low-risk: OR=3.536, 95% CI: 1.253-10.173, P=0.016; high- compared with low-risk: OR=10.214, 95% CI: 2.958-35.274, P<0.001).
Conclusions: Our data demonstrate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of RALP in low-to-intermediate volume centers. Our early oncologic outcomes were significantly correlated with pathologic stage and D'Amico risk stratification.
