Abstract
Background and objective: Robotic adrenalectomy (RA) has attracted interest as an alternative to laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) for patients with pheochromocytoma, although its beneficial effects are uncertain. Our aim was to compare RA and LA outcomes for these patients.
Methods: Data for patients who underwent RA or LA for pheochromocytoma in 46 international centers between 2012 and 2022 were reviewed. We analyzed baseline characteristics and postoperative complications at discharge, 90 d, and 1 yr. We conducted propensity score matching (PSM; 1:1 ratio) and multivariable analyses to evaluate outcomes and risk factors for the occurrence of complications and higher Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI).
Key findings and limitations: Of 1755 patients, 1613 (91.9%) underwent LA and 142 (8.1%) underwent RA. Estimated blood loss, conversion rate, complication rate, and CCI at discharge, 90 d, and 1 yr were similar between the groups. However, RA was associated with a longer operative time in comparison to LA (100 vs 123 min; p < 0.001), but not after PSM (p = 0.120). Multivariable analysis revealed that Charlson comorbidity index (odds ratio [OR] 1.17, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07-1.29; p = 0.001), and tumor size per 1-cm increment (OR 1.13, 95% CI 1.07-1.21; p < 0.001) were independently associated with the incidence of complications, but there was no significant difference in complication rates between the LA and RA groups (OR 1.09, 95% CI 0.63-1.87; p = 0.767). After PSM, RA was associated with a lower rate of severe (grade ≥3a) complications in comparison to LA (p = 0.023).
Conclusions and clinical implications: RA is a safe alternative to LA and yields similar outcomes for patients with pheochromocytoma. RA may be associated with a lower likelihood of severe complications. Further studies are warranted to determine the role of robotic surgery in pheochromocytoma.
Patient summary: Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor in the adrenal gland and the gold-standard treatment is surgical removal. We assessed patient outcomes after robot-assisted surgery compared with laparoscopic surgery and found that outcomes are similar, but the rate of severe complications may be lower if a surgical robot is used.
背景和目的:机器人肾上腺切除术(RA)是嗜铬细胞瘤患者腹腔镜肾上腺切除术(LA)的替代方案,尽管其疗效尚不确定,但已引起了人们的兴趣。我们的目的是比较 RA 和 LA 对这些患者的治疗效果:我们回顾了 2012 年至 2022 年间在 46 个国际中心接受 RA 或 LA 治疗嗜铬细胞瘤患者的数据。我们分析了患者的基线特征以及出院、90 天和 1 年后的术后并发症。我们进行了倾向评分匹配(PSM;1:1比例)和多变量分析,以评估并发症发生的结果和风险因素以及更高的综合并发症指数(CCI):在1755名患者中,1613人(91.9%)接受了LA手术,142人(8.1%)接受了RA手术。两组患者的估计失血量、转归率、并发症发生率以及出院时、90 天后和 1 年后的 CCI 相似。然而,与 LA 相比,RA 的手术时间更长(100 分钟 vs 123 分钟;P 结论和临床意义:对于嗜铬细胞瘤患者来说,RA是一种可替代LA的安全方法,且疗效相似。RA 发生严重并发症的可能性较低。有必要进行进一步研究,以确定机器人手术在嗜铬细胞瘤中的作用。患者摘要:嗜铬细胞瘤是肾上腺中的一种罕见肿瘤,金标准治疗方法是手术切除。我们评估了机器人辅助手术与腹腔镜手术的患者预后,发现两者的预后相似,但如果使用手术机器人,严重并发症的发生率可能会更低。
期刊介绍:
European Urology Focus is a new sister journal to European Urology and an official publication of the European Association of Urology (EAU).
EU Focus will publish original articles, opinion piece editorials and topical reviews on a wide range of urological issues such as oncology, functional urology, reconstructive urology, laparoscopy, robotic surgery, endourology, female urology, andrology, paediatric urology and sexual medicine. The editorial team welcome basic and translational research articles in the field of urological diseases. Authors may be solicited by the Editor directly. All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by a panel of experts before being considered for publication.
