Abstract:
PURPOSE:To compare patient quality of life (QoL) and short-term surgical outcomes between robotic anterior resection (r-AR) and laparoscopic (l-AR) approach. METHODS:Consecutive patients having undergone either robotic or laparoscopic AR for adenocarcinoma were studied. All operations were performed by two surgeons experienced in laparoscopic and recently introduced robotic surgery. Surgical outcomes were determined by post-operative histology and short-term complications. QoL was prospectively assessed using the EORTC QLC-CR30 and QLC-CR29 questionnaires. RESULTS:In total, 36 patients (18 r-AR) with a median follow-up of 12 months following surgery (9-month robotic and 20-month laparoscopic) were studied. The two groups were similarly matched for age and gender. Laparoscopic patients had a lower ASA grade (p = 0.02). There was no significant difference in surgical outcomes between groups. r-AR patients reported lower pain scales (2 ± 6 vs. 11 ± 13) (p = 0.04), lower levels of insomnia 0 vs. 8 ± 15 (p = 0.04) and a lower abdominal pain scale (2 ± 9 vs. 17 ± 27) (p = 0.04). Male impotence scores were higher in l-AR 33 ± 35 compared to r-AR 7 ± 21 (p = 0.03). CONCLUSION:Despite its recent introduction to our centre, the quality of oncological resection using the robotic surgery is comparable to laparoscopy. Lower impotence and QoL scores in patients after robotic procedure may be explained on the basis of better visualisation and precise tissue handling.
