Open Versus Robotic Radical Prostatectomy in Obese Men.
OBJECTIVES Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has been shown to reduce blood loss, peri-operative complications and length of stay when compared to open radical prostatectomy (ORP). We sought to determine whether the reported benefits of RARP over ORP translate to obese patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS We utilized the 2009-2010 Nationwide Inpatient Sample to identify all obese men wi...
متن کاملLaparoscopic radical nephrectomy in extremely obese patients
Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy has been widely accepted as the preferred management of low stage renal masses. Endoscopic management is advantageous for its reduction in perioperative and postoperative complications. In the mid-1990s, morbid obesity was considered a relative contraindication to laparoscopic technique. The authors present two cases of laparoscopic radical nephrectomy due to re...
متن کاملRobot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy in the Morbidly Obese Patient
Introduction. Obesity and prostate cancer are among the more common health issues affecting men in the United States. Methods. We retrospectively reviewed morbidly obese (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m(2)) patients undergoing RALP between 2004-2009 at our institution. Parameters including operative time, estimated blood loss, hospital stay, pathology, and complication rate were examined. Results. A total of 15 ...
متن کاملCan robotic assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy be recommended to obese patients?
Experienced robotic surgeons report lower estimated blood loss (EBL) and transfusion rates with similar clinical outcomes for robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) compared to open radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP). We reviewed our experience with RALP to investigate how to counsel overweight and obese patients being considered for RALP regarding risk of major perioper...
متن کاملRobotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy.
BACKGROUND The use of radical prostatectomy for the treatment of prostate cancer has been increasing during the last decade partially due to the widespread adoption of the robotic-assisted laparoscopic technique. Although no prospective, randomized controlled trials have compared open radical prostatectomy (ORP) with robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP), numerous comparat...
