Abstrakt: Introduction: The aim of this series was to evaluate predictors of Proficiency score (PS) achievement on a multicentric series of robot-assisted radical prostatectomies (RARP) performed by trainee surgeons with two different surgical techniques at four tertiary-care centers.
Material and Methods: Four institutional datasets were merged and queried for RARPs performed by surgeons during their learning curve (LC) between 2010 and 2020 using two different approaches (Group A, Retzius-sparing RARP, n = 164; Group B, standard anterograde RARP, n = 79). Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of PS achievement for the overall trainee cohort. For all analyses, a two-sided p <0.05 was considered significant.
Results: Group B showed significantly increased median operative time, positive surgical margins (PSM) status, increased number of nerve-sparing procedures, shorter LC time (each p <0.04). PS, continence status, potency, biochemical recurrence and 1-year trifecta rates were comparable between groups (each p >0.3). On multivariable analysis, time from LC starting ≥12 months (OR = 2.79; 95%IC [1.15-6.76]; p = 0.02) and a nerve-sparing intent (OR = 3.18; 95%IC [1.15-8.77]; p = 0.02) were independent predictors of PS score achievement (Table 3).
Conclusions: Higher PS rates for RARP trainees may be expected after 12 months from LC beginning. Short-term training courses are unlikely to confer proper surgical training, while long-term structured training programs seem to be beneficial on perioperative outcomes.
