Résumé

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to investigate the impact of peritoneal patency during extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (eLR P) on perioperative and postoperative outcomes.

METHODS: Between May 2018 and March 2025, 255 patients who underwent eLR P were retrospectively evaluated. Patients without peritoneal opening were classified as group 1 (n=223), while those with peritoneal opening were classified as group 2 (n=32). Demographic data, operative time, complication rates, and complication grades based on the Clavien-Dindo classification were analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify associated risk factors.

RESULTS: A history of abdominal surgery was significantly more common in group 2 (p<0.001) and the mean operative time was also significantly longer in this group (p<0.001). Although the overall complication rate was higher in group 2 (37.5% vs. 24.2%), the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.131). Multivariate analysis revealed that a history of abdominal surgery, operative time >180 minutes, and estimated blood loss >150 ml were significantly associated with postoperative complications; however, peritoneal opening was not identified as an independent risk factor (p=0.113).

CONCLUSIONS: Although peritoneal opening may introduce technical challenges that compromise the advantages of the extraperitoneal approach, it does not significantly affect postoperative complication rates. With sufficient surgical experience, it appears to be a manageable intraoperative event.
