Objective. We sought to compare positive surgical margin rates (PSM), estimated blood loss (EBL), and quality of life outcomes (QOL) among perineal (RPP), retropubic (RRP), and robot-assisted laparoscopic (RALP) prostatectomies.Methods. Records from 463 consecutive men undergoing RPP (92), RRP (180), or RALP (191) for clinically localized prostate cancer were retrospectively reviewed. Age, percent tumor volume, Gleason score, stage, EBL, PSM, and QOL using the expanded prostate cancer index composite (EPIC) were compared.Results. PSM were similar when adjusted for stage, grade, and volume. EBL was significantly less in the RALP (189 ml) group compared to both RPP (475 ml) and RRP (999 ml) groups. When corrected for nerve sparing, there were no differences in erectile function and sexual function amongst the three groups. Urinary summary and pad usage scores showed no significant differences.Conclusion. RPP, RRP, and RALP offer similar surgical and QOL outcomes. RALP and RPP demonstrate less EBL compared to RRP.

244 Background: Ongoing studies are evaluating the role of definitive treatment of the primary tumor in men with de novo metastatic prostate cancer. If proven beneficial, the optimal timing of the intervention will need to be considered. Little is known regarding the safety and quality of life outcomes of RP in metastatic castration resistant PCa (mCRPC). Methods: 14 pts undergoing RP on clinical trials and in the setting of mCRPC from 2008-2016 were analyzed. Intra-op and post-op complications were assigned Clavien-Dindo grade. Post-op expanded prostate cancer index composite (EPIC) urinary domains quality of life (QOL) outcomes were reviewed. Results: Patient characteristics were summarized (Table). 5 (36%) pts received platinum based chemo prior to RP. 4 pts had a decrease in PSA post RP (range: 0.2-57.3 ng/ml); 7 pts had an increase in PSA post RP (range: 0.1-24.5 ng/ml); and 3 pts’ PSA was unchanged. Positive surgical margin rate was 57%. 3 of 6 cN0 pts were pN1. 1 of 8 cN1 pts were pN0. 12/14 pts underwent extended lymphadenectomy with a median 3 (IQR 0-4) positive LNs out of 17 (IQR 11-25) LNs removed. Median op time was 239 min (IQR 186-304). Median EBL was 200cc (IQR 150-225). 8 pts had bilateral non-nerve sparing. Median pre-op and <3month post-op EPIC urinary function QOL scores were 84 (IQR 70-95) and 78 (IQR 62-810) respectively. 30-day mortality was 0% and 12/14 pts were alive at 1 year post RP. There were no intra-op complications. There was one Clavien Grade III complication (pelvic abscess), with remaining 5 complications either Grade I or II. Conclusions: In this select cohort of pts with mCRPC, RP was feasible with limited complications. Differences in pre-op and post-op urinary QOL scores were not clinically significant. Given the retrospective nature of the review and the heterogeneity of this heavily pre-treated population, clinical benefit cannot be ascribed to the intervention. Thus, we caution against RP in mCRPC outside of well-designed clinical trials other than for palliation. [Table: see text]

AbstractThe positive surgical margin (PSM) and biochemical recurrence (BCR) are two main factors associated with poor oncotherapeutic outcomes after prostatectomy. This is an Asian population study based on a single-surgeon experience to deeply investigate the predictors for PSM and BCR. We retrospectively included 419 robot-assisted radical prostatectomy cases. The number of PSM cases was 126 (30.1%), stratified as 22 (12.2%) in stage T2 and 103 (43.6%) in stage T3. Preoperative prostate-specific antigen (PSA) > 10 ng/mL (p = 0.047; odds ratio [OR] 1.712), intraoperative blood loss > 200 mL (p = 0.006; OR 4.01), and postoperative pT3 stage (p < 0.001; OR 6.901) were three independent predictors for PSM while PSA > 10 ng/mL (p < 0.015; hazard ratio [HR] 1.8), pT3 stage (p = 0.012; HR 2.264), International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade > 3 (p = 0.02; HR 1.964), and PSM (p = 0.027; HR 1.725) were four significant predictors for BCR in multivariable analysis. PSMs occurred mostly in the posterolateral regions (73.8%) which were associated with nerve-sparing procedures (p = 0.012) while apical PSMs were correlated intraoperative bleeding (p < 0.001). A high ratio of pT3 stage after RARP in our Asian population-based might surpass the influence of PSM on BCR. PSM was less significant than PSA and ISUP grade for predicting PSA recurrence in pT3 disease. Among PSM cases, unifocal and multifocal positive margins had a similar ratio of the BCR rate (p = 0.172) but ISUP grade > 3 (p = 0.002; HR 2.689) was a significant BCR predictor. These results indicate that PSA and pathological status are key factors influencing PSM and BCR.
