Objectives: We report the outcome of 242 cases of extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy performed by a single surgeon.
Methods: 242 patients with localized and locally advanced prostate cancer, who underwent extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Perioperative data, functional and oncological outcomes were evaluated.
Results: Average patients age was 66.67 years (range 42-83 years), and mean preoperative PSA level was 19.39 ng/ml (range 0.44-421 ng/ml). The mean operative time was 220 minutes. The mean intraoperative blood loss was 776.26 ml (range 50- 5,500 ml). 29.3% of cases were received blood transfusion. Margin positive rate was reported in pT2 and pT3 with 13.30% and 56.1%, respectively. The mean catheterization time and hospital stay duration were 9.73 days and 8.76 days, respectively. Continence outcome on 1st, 3rd, 6th, 12th month were 17.4%, 33%, 54% and 67.4%, respectively. 26 patients underwent nerve sparing procedure in patients younger than 60 years and the results in potency rate at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months were 7.7%, 27.8%, 41.2% and 69.2%, respectively.
Conclusions: Extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is the minimally invasive surgery of prostate cancer benefits for pT2 staging with the good oncological outcomes and functional outcomes.
