Defining Morbidity of Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy Using a Standardized Reporting Methodology
چکیده انگلیسی

BackgroundAdverse event reporting is highly variable and nonstandardized in urologic literature, especially for robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC).ObjectiveWe sought to better characterize complications in patients after RARC using a standardized reporting methodology.Design, setting, and participantsUsing a prospectively maintained, single-institution database, we identified 156 consecutive patients who underwent RARC with at least 90 d of follow-up. Complications were analyzed and graded according to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) system and were defined and stratified by organ system.MeasurementsLogistic regression models were used to define predictors of complications. Cox proportional hazard modeling and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were used to correlate complications and 90-d mortality.Results and limitationsFifty-two percent (81 of 156) of patients experienced a complication within 90 d of surgery. Sixty-five percent (102 of 156) of patients experienced a postoperative complication at a median follow-up of 9 mo. The highest grade of complication was grade 1 in 30 patients (19%), grade 2 in 34 patients (22%), and grade 3–5 in 38 patients (24%). Twenty-one percent (33 of 156) of patients required hospital readmission. Gastrointestinal, infectious, and genitourinary complications were most common (31%, 25%, and 13%, respectively). The 90-d mortality rate was 5.8%.ConclusionsWhen reported using strict guidelines, surgical morbidity after RARC is significant, but the majority of complications are low grade. Despite the high prevalence of low-grade complications, the mortality rate was acceptably low. Stringent reporting of complications after RARC is essential for counseling patients, assessing surgical quality, and allowing comparisons with open radical cystectomy and among institutions.
