Comparison of extraperitoneal laparoscopic and extraperitoneal Senhance radical prostatectomy

Abstract Background: Senhance is novel robotic platform which can be used to perform radical prostatectomy (RP). We compare our results of robotic RP to similar patients operated with laparoscopic technique. Patients and methods: A prospective study of 61 patients operated laparoscopically and 107 patients operated using the Senhance robotic system. We have analysed operative and postoperative results in both groups. Results: There was no difference in the operative time, estimated blood loss, positive surgical margins, length of hospitalisation and catheterisation. There were 4 (6.5%) Clavien-Dindo grade I complications, and 5 (8.1%) late complications in laparoscopy. There were 6 (5.6%) Clavien-Dindo grade I, 3 (2.8%) grade II, 1 (0.9%) grade IV complications and 2 (1.9%) late complications in robotic group. Conclusion: Senhance robot-assisted RP is safe, feasible and offers good and comparable functional and oncological outcomes to laparoscopy. The transition to robotic surgery with a relatively fast learning curve can be done effectively for surgeons with previous laparoscopic experience.
