Objective:To investigate the effect of perineal single-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 60 patients who underwent perineal single-port robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy at our hospital between July 2019 and July 2022. The mean age of the patients was (65.9±7.6) years and the mean BMI was (24.1±2.9) kg/m 2. The median (IQR) prostate volume was 32.7 (23.8, 41.2) ml, and the median (IQR) preoperative PSA value was 8.8 (6.8, 12.6) ng/ml. Preoperative pathology revealed a Gleason score of 6 in 21 patients, Gleason score of 7 in 35 patients and Gleason score of 8 in 4 patients. There were 12 patients clinically staged as T 1 and 48 patients as T 2. A total of 18 patients underwent a total of 23 previous abdominopelvic surgeries. The patient is placed in an exaggerated lithotomy position with the head down and feet elevated approximately 15°. A 3-5 cm incision was made approximately 2 cm above on the mid-perineum between the bilateral ischial tuberosities. Next, the rectourethral muscle was divided, and the space anterior to the rectum was developed by blunt dissection. The levator ani muscles were separated to expose Denonvilliers’ fascia. Then, the disposable multi-channel laparoscopic surgical access system is inserted with a surgical wound protector. Denonvilliers’ fascia was incised transversely and the ampulla of the vas deferens, which were subsequently divided. Blunt separation is performed on both sides along the capsule of the prostate, and then, the vascular pedicles of the prostate are ligated. The membranous urethra was severed after complete urethral separation at the tip of the prostate at the urethral junction. The bladder neck was freed and dissected. The prostate and seminal vesicles were removed and a vesicourethral anastomosis is performed. A perineal drain were left in place. Preoperative and postoperative variables, complications, early urinary continence rate(Return of urinary continence status was defined as using no more than one safety pad per day) and oncological outcomes of patients were recorded. Results:All 60 surgeries were successfully completed without conversions or additional incisions. The median (IQR) total operative time was 200.0(153.8, 236.3) min, the median (IQR) console operating time was 107.5(90.0, 150.0) min and the median (IQR) estimated blood loss was 50.0(50.0, 100.0) ml. Positive surgical margins were detected in five patients (8.3%). The continence rate was 43.1%(22/51), 64.7%(33/51), 92.0%(46/50) and 98.0%(49/50), and the PSA undetectable rate was 94.6%(48/51), 98.2%(49/51), 96.6%(47/50) and 100%(50/50) at the 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Only 1(1.7%) patient experienced biochemical recurrence 9 months after surgery. The overall complication rate was 20%, including two cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome, one case of rectal injury, one case of urinary tract injury, two cases of poor wound healing, three cases of incision infection, two cases of urinary tract infection and one case of bladder neck-urethral orifice anastomotic stricture.Conclusions:Perineal single-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy might be safe and feasible surgical treatments for localized prostate cancer, especially for patients with a history of complex abdominal or pelvic surgery. It also showed advantages in early continence. The anatomical structure of the perineal region should be considered, and the correct incision position should be chosen. Specific incision protection measures should also be used for the incision in this particular area of the perineal region to reduce the risk of perioperative complications.
