Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Objective: We investigated patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND), analyzing the prevalence and risk factors associated with symptomatic lymphoceles (SLCs). Methods: -test, according to the type of the variable. In all analyses, a significance level of <0.05 was considered. Results: =0.007) were factors associated with the presence of SLCs. Conclusion: The prevalence of SLCs in patients undergoing RARP with PLND is approximately 2.0%. Higher BMI, greater number of lymph nodes removed, and longer length of hospital stay are factors associated with the presence of SLCs.
