Abstract
BACKGROUND Radical prostatectomy has become the gold standard for treating localized prostate cancer. Improvement in the single-site technique and surgeon's skill reduces not only the hospital duration but also the number of wounds. Realizing the learning curve for a new procedure can prevent unnecessary mistakes. OBJECTIVE To analyze the learning curve of extraperitoneal laparoendoscopic single-site robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (LESS-RaRP). METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 160 patients diagnosed with prostate cancer during June 2016 to December 2020 who underwent extraperitoneal LESS-RaRP. Calculated cumulative sum analysis (CUSUM) was used to evaluate the learning curves for the extraperitoneal setting time, robotic console time, total operation time, and blood loss. The operative and functional outcomes were also assessed. RESULTS The learning curve of the total operation time was observed in 79 cases. For the extraperitoneal setting and robotic console times, the learning curve was observed in 87 and 76 cases, respectively. The learning curve for blood loss was observed in 36 cases. No in-hospital mortality or respiratory failure was observed. CONCLUSION Extraperitoneal LESS-RaRP using the da Vinci Si system is safe and feasible. Approximately 80 patients are required to achieve a stable and consistent operative time. A learning curve for blood loss was observed after 36 cases.

Effects of TORS-OSA Surgery on Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms, Overactive Bladder Symptoms, and Nocturia in Male Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome. Nat Sci Sleep 2022; 14:547-556. [PMID: 35387094 PMCID: PMC8979565 DOI: 10.2147/nss.s349807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the presence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), and overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms in men with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSA) and the effects of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for the treatment of OSA on these conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred twenty-three patients with a diagnosis of OSA were prospectively enrolled. The evaluations of LUTS and OAB symptoms were based on self-administered questionnaires containing international prostate symptom score (IPSS) and OAB symptom score (OABSS), respectively. Men with an OABSS urgency score of ≥2 and sum score of ≥3 were considered to have OAB. The therapeutic outcomes were assessed at baseline, and 12 weeks after TORS-OSA Surgery. RESULTS There were significant differences in IPSS, and OABSS according to OSA severity. After TORS-OSA surgery, significant improvements on OSA severity, daytime quality of life (QoL) and nighttime sleep quality were observed. TORS-OSA surgery was also associated with a statistically significant improvement of LUTS, LUTS QoL score, and OAB symptoms (IPSS 22.1% decrease; IPSS QoL score 21.1% decrease; OABSS17.4% decrease) at post-operative 3 months' follow-up. The presence of OAB, and severe nocturia was significantly reduced from 22.8% to 11.4% (p=0.001), 5.7% to 0.8% (p=0.031) after TORS-OSA surgery. There were no patients who had acute airway compromise or massive bleeding peri- or post-operatively. CONCLUSION TORS upper airway surgery could improve LUTS and OAB symptoms on male patients with OSA in addition to improvement of major parameters of sleep study and sleep-related QoL.
