About this study

Official title: Pentafecta Outcomes After Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy: First 120 Cases in Brazilian University Hospital

Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) is a surgical technique for the treatment of prostate cancer. The aim of this study was to report our initial experience with RALRP, by applying the concept of pentafecta. Pentafecta consists of the five main outcomes in the postoperative period of RALRP: erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, postoperative complications, surgical margins and biochemical failure.

Read the detailed description

This study will describe a initial experience in RALRP in Brazilian University Hospital. The follow-up of patients was performed as an examination at the medical consultation every three months. Complications were categorized according to the Clavien classification system. Biochemical failure was established by PSA level. Continence was defined as patients who remain dry and who do not require any kind of protection in their everyday activities. Sexual potency was defined as the ability to get and keep an erection for long enough to have satisfying sexual relations with or without the use of type-5 phosphodiesterase inhibitors (PDE-5) and a Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) score greater or equal to 21. Positive surgical margin is defined as the presence of neoplastic glands in direct contact with the ink on the surface of the piece, with no interposed connective tissue.

  • Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomyProcedure or surgery

    Patients with localized prostate cancer underwent transperitoneal robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Erectile Dysfunction

    Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) score greater or equal to 21.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Urinary Continence

    Continence was defined as patients who remain dry and who do not require any kind of protection.Patients will be questioned in the postoperative consultations if there is a need to use some protection.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Surgical Complication

    Complications were categorized according to the Clavien classification system.

    Measured: 30 days

  3. Biochemical Failure

    Biochemical failure was established by PSA level grater or equal to 0,2 ng/ml.

    Measured: 6 month

  4. Surgical Margin

    It is defined as the presence of neoplastic glands in direct contact with the ink on the surface of the piece.

    Measured: 15 days
