Popis: Abstract Objectives The objective of this study is to assess frequency and risk factors for intraoperative hypoxemia of the lower limbs during robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Trendelenburg position during RARP may contribute to hypoxemia and compartment syndrome (CS) of the lower limbs as a major but rare complication. Patients and methods This prospective study included patients undergoing RARP for prostate cancer. Preoperative calculation of the ankle‐brachial‐index (ABI) was performed. Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) at the toes was routinely measured. Occurrence of SpO2 levels of
