Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To study the relation between uroflow Stop Test and early recovery of potency following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). We recently showed that the ability to completely stop urine flow during voiding, measured objectively by uroflowmetry at the time of catheter removal (uroflow Stop Test) can predict early urinary continence recovery following RARP. MATERIALS AND METHODS:In this prospective observational cohort, data were collected on 108 patients operated by a single surgeon (AEH). Eighty patients had a positive uroflow Stop Test (group one) and 28 had a negative Stop Test (group two). Patients were followed for a minimum of 2 years. Covariates included age, body mass index, international prostate symptom score and sexual health inventory for men scores, prostate-specific antigen, tumor stage, prostate volume, nerve sparing status, and estimated blood loss. RESULTS:Preoperative characteristics were comparable between both groups except nerve sparing and prostate-specific antigen which were statistically higher in group one (P <.05). Early 3- and 6-months recovery of erectile function was significantly higher in group one. Potency rates in group one and two at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months were 25% vs 14.3% (P = .241), 54.5% vs 18.5% (P = .001), 55.4% vs 18.5% (P = .001), 56.4% vs 36% (P = .084), 66.6% vs 50% (P = .141), 65.5% vs 56% (P = .404) and 73.2% vs 57.7% (P = .160) respectively. Uroflow Stop Test was independent predictor of early potency recovery on multivariate regression analysis at 6 months [odds ratio 6.042 (confidence interval 95% 1.496-24.413) P = .012]. CONCLUSION:Uroflow Stop Test is simple and can help predict early potency recovery following RARP.
