Thrombembolism After Robot- Assisted Surgery in Urology

March 10, 2021 updated by: Dr. Jochen Renner, University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein

Postoperative Arterial or Venous Thrombembolism After Robot- Assisted Surgery in Major Urological Procedures is in Some Cases a Severe Complication.

Cancer patients have an increased risk of perioperative complications undergoing surgery procedures. Postoperative complications caused by thrombembolic events after robot- assisted surgery in major urological procedures have been reported and associated with an increased lenght of stay in the hospital. We therefore aimed to investigate in a retrospective analysis 250 patients undergoing robotic-assisted radical cystectomy and prostatectomy procedures for risk factors for thrombembolic events in this specific patient population.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Postoperative arterial or venous thrombembolism after robotic- assisted surgery in major urological procedures are reported severe complications in this patient population.

After having studied the available literature on this particular topic the investigators have decided to prepare a retrospective analysis of approximately 250 robot- assisted radical cystectomy and radical prostatectomy surgical procedures. In due consideration of perioperative prophylaxis of thrombembolic Events we determine the clinical and radiological signs of venous or arterial thrombembolism postoperatively with a particular focus on early postoperative pulmonary embolism events.

This is a retrospective analysis of 250 robotic-assisted radical cystectomy and radical prostatectomy surgical procedures.
