Key Points

The aim is to determine how prostate size influences outcomes of single-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (SP-RARP).
Examined intraoperative complexity related to prostate size during SP-RARP procedures
Assessed complication and margin rates across different prostate sizes
Compared findings with trends from multiport robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP)
Prostate size affects intraoperative complexity without increasing complication rates
Margin rates remain consistent regardless of prostate size
Feasibility and safety of SP-RARP are supported across various prostate sizes

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.

Implication

Shows that prostate size does not affect complication rates in robot-assisted surgery, suggesting broad feasibility.

Abstract

Prostate size impacts intraoperative complexity in SP-RARP but does not increase complication or margin rates. These findings support the feasibility and safety of SP-RARP across a broad range of prostate sizes, consistent with trends reported for multiport RARP.
