Journal Article
Checking vesicourethral anastomosis for urinary extravasation during radical prostatectomy: is it still necessary in the robotic era? A prospective, randomized case-control study
2024
Overview
Purpose
This study aims to evaluate the role of intraoperative control of the watertightness of vesicourethral anastomosis extravasation control (VUAEC) in predicting vesicourethral anastomosis (VUA) healing and early postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
Methods
100 patients who underwent RARP between October 2020 and May 2023 were consecutively included in the study. Preoperatively, the patients were randomized to undergo VUAEC (
Group-A
) or not (
Group-B
). Patients in
Group-A
were evaluated in 2 subgroups: those with no extravasation observed during VUAEC (
Group-A1
;
n
= 31 (62%)) and those with extravasation (
Group-A2
;
n
= 19 (38%)). On the 8th post-operative day, a gravity cystogram (GC) was performed on all patients to assess VUA healing.
Results
There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of clinical features, drain removal time, length of hospital stay, extravasation on GC, catheter removal time and postoperative complications (
p
> 0.05, for each). There was also no statistically significant difference between the subgroups in terms of drain removal time, length of hospital stays, catheter removal time (
p
> 0.05, for each). In
Group-A2
, urinary extravasation on GC was found in a greater percentage, but the difference remained statistically insignificant (
p
= 0.082).
Conclusions
Performing intraoperative VUAEC did not have a significant role in the prediction of VUA healing and early postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing RARP. The current study did not identify a substantial clinical benefit of routine intraoperative VUAEC.
