Prospective randomized trial to compare standard vs delayed approach to dorsal vascular complex (s-DVC vs d-DVC) in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
Patients scheduled for RARP were randomized into a 1:1 ratio to receive either s-DVC or d-DVC by two experienced surgeons. In s-DVC arm an eight-shaped single stitch was given at the beginning of the procedure and the DVC was subsequently cut at time of apical dissection; in d-DVC arm the plexus was transected at the end of prostatectomy, prior to apex dissection and then sutured. Primary endpoint was difference in estimated blood loss (EBL) and a sample size of 226 cases was calculated; ad interim analysis was planned after 2/3 of recruitment.
Endpoint was reached at ad interim analysis after 162 cases (81 s-DVC, 81 d-DVC) and recruitment was, therefore, interrupted. Baseline and tumor characteristics were overlapping. EBL was significantly higher in d-DVC arm (mean EBL 107 vs 65 ml, p = 0.003), but without differences in post-operative hemoglobin, transfusions and complications. Overall PSM rate was higher in d-DVC arm (21.0 vs 14.8%, p = 0.323), with statistical significance relatively to organ-confined disease (15.5 vs 3.6%, p = 0.031). Apical involvement was instead significantly higher in s-DVC arm (prevalence in PSM patients 66.7 vs 23.5%, p = 0.020). Post-operative PSA, continence and potency rates were similar between groups.
Standard and delayed approaches to DVC are safe and lead to similar functional outcomes. A delayed approach exposes to a higher risk of PSM in organ-confined disease but with a lower risk of apical involvement.
在机器人辅助根治性前列腺切除术(RARP)中进行前瞻性随机试验,比较处理背侧血管复合体的标准方法与延迟方法(s-DVC 与 d-DVC)。
计划接受 RARP 的患者按 1:1 比例随机分组,由两位经验丰富的外科医生分别采用 s-DVC 或 d-DVC 方法。在 s-DVC 组,手术开始时采用八字形单缝合法,随后在尖部解剖时切断背侧血管复合体;在 d-DVC 组,在前列腺切除术后、尖部解剖前切断神经丛,然后进行缝合。主要终点是估计失血量(EBL)的差异,计算得出样本量为 226 例;计划在招募 2/3 病例后进行中期分析。
在纳入 162 例患者(81 例 s-DVC,81 例 d-DVC)后进行中期分析时达到终点,因此招募工作中断。基线和肿瘤特征重叠。d-DVC 组的 EBL 显著更高(平均 EBL 为 107 毫升对 65 毫升,p = 0.003),但术后血红蛋白、输血和并发症方面无差异。d-DVC 组的总体阳性手术切缘(PSM)率更高(21.0%对 14.8%,p = 0.323),相对于器官局限性疾病有统计学意义(15.5%对 3.6%,p = 0.031)。相反,s-DVC 组的尖部受累情况显著更高(PSM 患者中的患病率为 66.7%对 23.5%,p = 0.020)。两组之间术后 PSA、控尿和性功能恢复率相似。
处理背侧血管复合体的标准方法和延迟方法都是安全的,且功能结局相似。延迟方法在器官局限性疾病中导致 PSM 的风险更高,但尖部受累风险更低。
