Objective:

Radical prostatectomy is a therapeutic option in organ-confined prostate cancer. As the development of robotic systems progresses, the approach with this technology has begun to impact the functional and oncological outcomes of urological patients. The objective is to report the rate of pentafecta in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) stratified by risk groups.

Method:

Retrospective, observational, descriptive study from 2013 to 2020 that included 112 patients undergoing RARP.

Results:

A rate of pentafecta at 12 months of follow-up of 35.7% (n = 40) was obtained. In the subanalysis by risk groups, at 1-year follow-up, was obtained an index of 43% (n = 26), 26% (n = 9) and 22% (n = 4) in low-, intermediate-, and high-risk patients, respectively.

Conclusions:

Prostatectomy showed functional and oncological results similar to those reported in the literature with robotic approach, regardless of the risk group for prostate cancer.
