Abstract
Objectives There are few reported cases of robot-assisted surgery for endometrial cancer with para-aortic lymphadenectomy (PAL) in Japan. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the clinical outcomes of robot-assisted surgery with PAL for endometrial cancer. Materials and Methods This retrospective cohort study was analyzed 13 endometrial cancer patients who underwent robotic surgery with PAL between January 2011 and October 2018 at our hospital. We examined their perioperative complications and oncological outcomes. Results The median follow-up period, median overall survival, and disease-free interval were 80 months, 79 months (61-120), and 79 months (5-120), respectively. There were two (15.3%) cases of perioperative complications of Clavien-Dindo Class II or higher and three (23.0%) cases of recurrence. Conclusion Our results showed that the surgical and oncological outcomes of robot-assisted surgery for endometrial cancer with PAL were comparable with those of other developed countries.

Abstract
Purpose To report a case of bilateral vitreous hemorrhage (VH) resulting in postoperative vision loss (POVL) after robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy in a 71-year-old female patient. Observations At initial presentation, best-corrected visual acuity was hand motion at 20 cm in the right eye and 20/666 in the left eye. VH in both eyes and preretinal hemorrhage in the left eye was observed. As the hemorrhage gradually resolved, a full-thickness macular hole was discovered in the right eye, for which the patient did not agree with a surgical treatment. Conclusions and importance This report describes a rare incidence of bilateral VH as a cause of POVL after non-ophthalmic surgery, which may be related to Trendelenburg positioning, CO2 pneumoperitoneum, and a long surgical duration. Given that POVL can cause severe visual impairment, consultation with ophthalmologists is crucial.

Abstract
AIM Minimally invasive surgeries for endometrial cancer are increasing worldwide. In Japan, some articles have examined surgical outcomes, but only a few have addressed oncological outcomes. This study aims to compare robot surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and laparotomy in terms of surgical and oncological outcomes within a low-risk group for endometrial cancer recurrence. METHODS This study included patients with endometrial cancer deemed to be at low risk of recurrence and who underwent surgery between January 2011 and December 2020. We studied 99 patients who underwent robot surgery, 85 patients who underwent laparotomy, and 77 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery. Surgical and oncological outcomes were compared retrospectively for these groups of patients. RESULTS The median follow-up period was 47, 61, and 60 months in the laparotomy, laparoscopy, and robotic groups, respectively. The three groups had similar perioperative and pathological data. No significant differences in overall survival and disease-free survival were observed among the groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses conducted on the overall study population for disease-free survival and overall survival showed that the surgical approach did not have any influence. Minimally invasive surgery groups had longer operating times compared to the laparotomy group, but they had significantly less blood loss. The number of resected pelvic lymph nodes was similar, and the complication rate was not significant. CONCLUSIONS Robot-assisted surgery and laparoscopic surgery were found to be less invasive and showed similar oncologic outcomes compared to laparotomy surgery for endometrial cancer in patients with a low risk of recurrence.

Abstract
Positioning the patient is an important perioperative task; the recently updated AORN "Guideline for positioning the patient" provides perioperative personnel with background information and evidence-based best practices for perioperative patient positioning and focuses on maintaining patient and staff member safety. The revised guideline includes recommendations for placing patients safely in a variety of positions and avoiding positioning injuries, such as postoperative vision loss. This article provides an overview of positioning recommendations for assessing patients' risk for injury, implementing safe positioning practices, placing patients in the Trendelenburg position, and preventing intraocular injuries. It also includes a patient-focused scenario on preventing adverse events associated with the Trendelenburg position that aligns with information discussed in the article. Perioperative nurses should review the guideline in its entirety and implement appropriate recommendations for positioning patients during procedures.

J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11102844. [PMID: 35628970 PMCID: PMC9146028 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11102844] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2022] [Revised: 05/06/2022] [Accepted: 05/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Intraocular pressure occurring during the Trendelenburg position may be a risk for postoperative visual loss and other ocular complications. Intraocular pressure (IOP) higher than 21 mmHg poses a risk for ocular impairment causing several conditions such as glaucoma, detached retina, and postoperative vision loss. Many factors might play a role in IOP increase, like peak expiratory pressure (PIP), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) and surgical duration and some others (anaesthetic and neuromuscular blockade depth) contribute by reducing IOP during procedures requiring both pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg position (25–45° head-down tilt). Despite transient visual field loss after surgery, no signs of ischemia or changes to the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) have been shown after surgery. Over the years, several studies have been conducted to control and prevent IOPs intraoperative increase. Multiple strategies have been proposed by different authors over the years to reduce IOP during laparoscopic procedures, especially those involving steep Trendelenburg positions such as robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP), and abdominal and pelvic procedures. These strategies included both positional and pharmacological strategies.

VAN Wicklin SA. Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Prone Position on Intraocular Pressure in Adults Undergoing Surgery. Int J Spine Surg 2020; 14:195-208. [PMID: 32355626 PMCID: PMC7188102 DOI: 10.14444/7029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing surgery in the prone position may be at risk for postoperative vision loss associated with increased intraocular pressure. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to estimate the magnitude of the increase in intraocular pressure at specific perioperative time points in adult patients. The research question to be addressed is "What is the magnitude of the increase in intraocular pressure at specific perioperative time points in adults undergoing surgery in the prone position?" METHODS Comprehensive search strategies were used to identify nine eligible studies (N = 229). Standardized mean difference effect sizes were calculated for two intraoperative time points.Time points for meta-analysis were selected to achieve the greatest number of comparisons for analysis at each time point. Prediction intervals for each time point were also calculated to show the dispersion of true effect sizes around the mean. RESULTS Meta-analysis showed that intraocular pressure increased significantly between induction of anesthesia and up to 10 minutes of prone position (T1: standardized mean difference [d] = 2.55; P < .001) and continued to increase significantly until the end of the prone position (T2: d = 3.44; P = .002). CONCLUSIONS Intraocular pressure increases of this magnitude demonstrate the need for implementing interventions to reduce the risk for postoperative vision loss in patients undergoing surgery in the prone position. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Implementing preoperative ophthalmologic examinations for patients undergoing surgery in the prone position may help to reduce the risk for ocular injury. Intraoperative interventions that can be implemented to reduce or mitigate the increase in intraocular pressure include implementing a 5- to 10-degree reverse Trendelenburg prone position, reducing the amount of time the patient is in the prone position, considering staged procedures, monitoring intraocular pressure, providing periodic position changes or rest periods, preventing pressure on the eye, and administering specific medications or anesthetics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate intraocular pressure and visual function in patients with ocular diseases undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. METHODS We carried out a prospective clinical study of patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer at The University of Tokyo Hospital from December 2015 to March 2017. An ophthalmologist measured intraocular pressure, and carried out visual field testing at 0-2 months before and 7 days after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. During the surgery, an anesthesiologist measured intraocular pressure at specified time points. RESULTS A total of 110 patients were enrolled and 98 eligible patients were analyzed; 37 were diagnosed with ocular diseases before robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (17 with glaucoma, 20 with other ocular diseases). Intraocular pressure significantly increased during robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. Transient postoperative visual field defect was detected in 24 eyes of 17 patients, including six patients with ocular diseases at 7 days after surgery. At 3 months after surgery, one of 34 glaucomatous eyes and one of 40 eyes with non-glaucomatous ocular diseases continued to show visual field defect, although visual field defect in the remaining patients recovered to preoperative conditions within 3 months. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy can be safely carried out in patients with ocular diseases, even those with glaucoma, after precautionary consultation with an ophthalmologist.

Abstract
The study was aimed to present a rare case of who developed non arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) following robotic-assisted gynaecologic surgery. A 58-year-old female patient presented with vision loss in right eye after non-complicated robotic-assisted total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy. We observed on fundoscopy optic disc edema and splinter hemorrhages at the optic disc edges. Fluorescein angiography showed hypofluorescence of the optic disc in the early phases due to filling delay followed by hyperfluorescence with leakage from disc capillaries in the late phases of the angiogram. From these findings, we diagnosed NAION in the right eye. When NAION was diagnosed, the patient received intravenous methylprednisolone. Topical brimonidin and coenzyme-Q were given. On 1-month follow-up, recovery of visual loss was observed. Here, we present a case of NAION that is an uncommon cause of perioperative visual loss after robotic-assisted gyneacologic surgery.

Abstract
Objectives To review the main complications related to the robot-assisted laparoscopic (RAL) approach in urology and to suggest measures to avoid such issues. Methods A systematic search for articles of the contemporary literature was performed in PubMed database for complications in RAL urological procedures focused on positioning, access, and operative technique considerations. Each complication topic is followed by recommendations about how to avoid it. Results In all, 40 of 253 articles were included in this analysis. Several complications in RAL procedures can be avoided if the surgical team follows some key steps. Adequate patient positioning must avoid skin, peripheral nerve, and muscles injuries, and ocular and cognitive complications mainly related to steep Trendelenburg positioning in pelvic procedures. Port-site access and closure should not be neglected during minimally invasive procedures as these complications although rare can be troublesome. Technique-related complications depend on surgeon experience and the early learning curve should be monitored. Conclusions Adequate patient selection, surgical positioning, mentorship training, and avoiding long-lasting procedures are essential to prevent RAL-related complications. The robotic surgical team must be careful and work together to avoid possible complications. This review offers several steps in surgical planning to reach this goal.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the hyperacute phase of ischemic stroke, a 0° position is recommended to increase cerebral perfusion in nonhypoxic patients able to tolerate lying flat. However, use of 0° positioning is not uniformly applied in clinical practice, most likely due to concerns of aspiration pneumonia. We aimed to determine the risk of pneumonia associated with 0° head of bed positioning in acute stroke patients treated with thrombolytic therapy. METHODS A retrospective descriptive study was conducted using prospectively collected, consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients treated with IVtPA whose head of bed was positioned at 0° for the first 24 h. Rates of hospital-acquired pneumonia were determined using a strict adjudication process to insure accuracy of pneumonia diagnoses. Quantitative characteristics were analyzed in SPSS to compare differences between "true" pneumonia cases and nonpneumonia cases. RESULTS Twenty-four of 333 (7.2%) patients had mention the diagnosis of pneumonia in the registry and/or medical record. Of these cases, only 15 (4.5%) met evidence-based diagnostic criteria for hospital-acquired pneumonia. The 15 adjudicated cases had similar median admission NIHSS scores to nonpneumonia cases (10 vs. 9, respectively; P = ns), but were older (74 ± 15 vs. 64 ± 17 years; mean difference 9.889, 95 CI = 1.2-18.6; P = 0.026). A total of eight patients with pneumonia were intubated and mechanically ventilated, and one patient received bilevel positive airway pressure ventilation during the 0° positioning period. Pneumonia cases had significantly longer hospitalizations (14.5 ± 12 vs. 6.6 ± 9 days; mean difference 7.97, 95% CI = 1.1-14.8; P = 0.026) and higher median discharge mRS score (4 vs. 3: P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS Zero-degree head of bed positioning in the first 24 h following an acute ischemic stroke treated with IV-tPA was associated with acceptable rates of pneumonia. Rates for pneumonia may be further reduced by eliminating use of a 0° protocol in intubated/mechanically ventilated patients.

Is robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal diversion becoming the new gold standard of care? World J Urol 2015; 34:25-32. [PMID: 26607697 DOI: 10.1007/s00345-015-1730-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2015] [Accepted: 11/05/2015] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Totally intracorporeal robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) has perceived difficulties compared to open radical cystectomy (ORC). As the technique is increasingly adopted around the world, the benefits of RARC with intra- or extracorporeal urinary diversion or ORC for the patients are still unclear. In this article, we consider the current evidence for this issue. METHODS We assessed two questions through using expert opinion and the medical literature: (A) Is RARC better than ORC for removing the cancer surgery and outcome? (B) Is RARC better than ORC for the urinary diversion? OUTCOMES (A) RARC is better than ORC for shorter length of stay, blood loss and complication rates. (B) Intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder may have a significant physiological and surgical benefit to the patient recovery. CONCLUSIONS RARC with total intracorporeal reconstruction has potential benefits to the patient. We recommend that all surgeons document patient-related outcome measures, urodynamics and enhanced recovery protocols for cystectomy patients to help us understand the real improvements within bladder cancer surgery and reconstruction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The main aim of our study is to review the till now available literature data on the role of robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection in gynaecological cancers by comparing the extraperitoneal versus the transperitoneal approach. METHODS A thorough and systematic search was performed in electronic databases of PubMed and Scopus. RESULTS The extraperitoneal approach is described in 148 patients. The age of the patients ranged from 26 to 78 years. The indications included cervical, endometrial and ovarian carcinoma in 113, 22 and 12 patients, respectively. The operative time ranged between 45 and 410 min. The number of dissected lymph nodes ranged from 3 to 25, while only 13 of them were found to be positive. The mean estimated blood loss during the operation was 77 ml (range <50-200 ml). Seven cases were converted to open. The duration of hospital stay ranged from 2 to 14 days. The transperitoneal approach is described in 898 patients. The age of the patients ranged from 15 to 89 years. Cervical, endometrial and ovarian carcinomas were the principal neoplasias present in 248, 449 and 164 patients, respectively. The operative time ranged from 19 to 633 min. The number of dissected lymph nodes ranged from 1 to 54, while the total number of patients with positive lymph nodes dissected was 56 patients. The estimated blood loss during the operation varied between 20 and 1800 ml. Only 9 out of 898 patients were converted to open. The duration of hospital stay ranged from 1 to 40 days. CONCLUSION A reliable definition of the "kind" of lymphadenectomy used in each study is the first step in order to reach safe conclusions. The lack of comparative studies, especially the randomized ones, cannot help us draw any safe conclusion regarding both the clinical outcomes and the possibility of any superiority of these different approaches (extraperitoneal and transperitoneal).
