Summary

Radical perineal prostatectomy (RPP) was the first approach utilized for the removal of the entire prostate gland for prostate cancer. In the minimally invasive surgery era, the robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) was first described in the early 2000s, and has become the mainstay of prostatectomy in Hong Kong and many parts of the world. Incorporating the robotic technology into the technique of RPP has been studied recently. Some preliminary data showed that such approach resulted in a better functional outcome in continence and erectile function. Our study aims at assessing the safety and effectiveness of robotic RPP in prostate cancer management.

Conditions

  • Robotic Radical Perineal Prostatectomy

Interventions

DEVICE

GelPOINT®

The patient is laid in the exaggerated lithotomy and 15 degree Trendelenburg position. An incision is made between both ischial tuberosities. Perineal dissection is performed till the apex of the prostate is seen. Subcutaneous tissue laying under the incision borders is dissected deeply over the superficial perineal fascia to place the GelPOINT®.Once the robotic system is docked, dissection of prostate is started.
