Surgical Complications Requiring Intervention in Open versus Minimally Invasive Radical Prostatectomy

© 2021 S. Karger AG, Basel..

INTRODUCTION: Injuries to surrounding structures during radical prostatectomy (RP) are rare but serious complications. However, it remains unknown if injuries to intestines, rectum, or vascular structures occur at different rates depending on the surgical approach.

METHODS: We compared the frequency of these outcomes in open RP (ORP) and minimally invasive RP (MIS-RP) using the national American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database (2012-2017). Along with important metrics of clinical and surgical outcomes, patients were identified as undergoing surgical repair of small or large bowel, vascular structures, or hernias based on Current Procedural Terminology codes.

RESULTS: In our propensity matched analysis, a total of 13,044 patients were captured. Bowel injury occurred more frequently in ORP than in MIS-RP (0.89 vs. 0.26%, p < 0.01). By intestinal segment, rectal and large bowel injuries were more common in ORP than MIS-RP (0.41 vs. 0.11% and 0.31 vs. 0.05%, both p < 0.01). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups for small bowel injury (0.17 vs. 0.11%, p = 0.39). Vascular injury was more common in MIS-RP (0.18 vs. 0.08%, p = 0.08). Hernias requiring repair were only identified in the MIS-RP group (0.12%).

CONCLUSION: When considering surgical approach, rectal and large bowel injuries were more common in ORP, while vascular injuries and hernia repair were more common in MIS-RP. Our findings can be used in counseling patients and identifying risk factors and strategies to reduce these complications.
