Thrombembolism After Robot- Assisted Surgery in Urology
Thrombembolism After Robot- Assisted Surgery in Urology
Cancer patients have an increased risk of perioperative complications undergoing surgery
 procedures. Postoperative complications caused by thrombembolic events after robot- assisted
 surgery in major urological procedures have been reported and associated with an increased
 lenght of stay in the hospital. We therefore aimed to investigate in a retrospective analysis
 250 patients undergoing robotic-assisted radical cystectomy and prostatectomy procedures for
 risk factors for thrombembolic events in this specific patient population.
Postoperative arterial or venous thrombembolism after robotic- assisted surgery in major
 urological procedures are reported severe complications in this patient population.

 After having studied the available literature on this particular topic the investigators have
 decided to prepare a retrospective analysis of approximately 250 robot- assisted radical
 cystectomy and radical prostatectomy surgical procedures. In due consideration of
 perioperative prophylaxis of thrombembolic Events we determine the clinical and radiological
 signs of venous or arterial thrombembolism postoperatively with a particular focus on early
 postoperative pulmonary embolism events.

 This is a retrospective analysis of 250 robotic-assisted radical cystectomy and radical
 prostatectomy surgical procedures.
