SENHANCE ROBOTIC RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY.

Since its introduction 20 years ago, robotic radical prostatectomy has become a standard of care in the treatment of localized prostate cancer in many Centers. Until recently, they have all been performed by the only available robotic platform. Senhance is a novel robotic platform that was approved for clinical use. The term Senhance was used to systematically search PubMed and Scopus databases for relevant articles that were afterward filtered for appropriate designs and data reports. There were two reports that met all of the criteria and were included in the review. Both studies were designed as prospective case series with a total of 234 patients where the data including operative data and oncological outcomes were reported. The average operative time ranged between 180 and 195 min, with estimated blood loss between 250 and 300 mL. There was 3 Clavien - Dindo grade III, and 1 Clavien - DIndo grade IV complication reported. One of the studies compared it with laparoscopy, but no significant difference in operative time and blood loss was found. Both studies concluded that the Senhance is a feasible and safe robotic platform for radical prostatectomy.
