description ObjectiveTo compare our initial perioperative and postoperative outcomes of the modified anterior approach (MA) with Retzius space preservation robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with the standard anterior approach (SA) RARP.Materials and methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 116 patients with RARP completed by the same surgeon between September 2019 and March 2022. They were divided into SA-RARP group (77 cases) and MA-RARP group (39 cases). Propensity score matching was performed using eight preoperative variables, including age, BMI, preoperative PSA, biopsy Gleason score, prostate volume, D’Amico risk classification, SHIM, and clinical T stage. Functional outcome was assessed by urine pad count and SHIM after surgery, and oncological outcome was assessed by statistics of postoperative pathological findings as well as follow-up postoperative PSA. The median follow-up was 13 months and 17 months for MA-RARP and SA-RARP groups respectively.ResultsPropensity score matching was performed 1:1, and baseline data were comparable between the two groups after matching. Comparison of postoperative data: MA-RARP group had less mean EBL than SA-RARP group (200 vs 150 ml, p = 0.033). PSM did not differ between groups (p = 1). In terms of urinary control recovery, the MA-RARP group showed significant advantages in urinary control recovery at 24 h, 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months after catheter removal, respectively (48.6% vs 5.7%, p < 0.001; 80% vs 22.9%, p < 0.001; 94.3% vs 51.4%, p < 0.001; 100% vs 74.3%, p = 0.002). This advantage gradually disappeared 6 months or more after surgery. The median time to recovery of sexual function was shorter in the MA-RARP group (165 vs 255 d, p = 0.001).ConclusionMA-RARP is safe and reliable, and can achieve better early urinary control function and sexual function recovery while achieving the primary tumor control goal.
