SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 9, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New findings from a large, population-based study show that robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (removal of the prostate and surrounding tissue) results in a shorter average hospital stay and lower overall complication rate compared to open surgery. (cnbc.com)
Researchers further documented that key proficiency measures, such as surgery time, complication rates and length of hospital stay, continued to improve as a surgeon's robotic-assisted case volume increased. (cnbc.com)
In addition, unknown patient selection differences may exist between the open and robotic-assisted groups. (cnbc.com)
In this study, researchers used a patient database to identify 71,312 radical prostatectomies performed between 2004 and 2010 by 3,739 surgeons at more than 300 U.S. hospitals, using either open or robotic-assisted techniques. (cnbc.com)
The study found that, compared to open prostatectomy, robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy was associated with a shorter average hospital stay, lower overall complication rate and fewer blood transfusions. (cnbc.com)
The study also found that as surgeons completed more robotic-assisted surgeries, there were decreases in overall surgery time, with less experienced surgeons averaging 5.0 hours for a case and more experienced surgeons averaging 3.9 hours. (cnbc.com)
Our analysis shows that outcomes of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy improve as surgeons gain more experience with the procedure, and generally can be favorable relative to open surgery," said lead study author John W. Davis, M.D., of the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. (cnbc.com)
