Introduction

The clinical study presented,  was designed for the presentation of our experience and outcomes of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with the use of the avatera robotic system.

Materials

The data of the first patients who underwent extraperitoneal RARP with the avatera system were retrospectively collected and presented in the current study. The primary endpoints of this study were the operation time (including the draping, docking and console time), the successful completion of the operations and the major complications.

Results

,

Ten patients underwent RARP using the avatera system from June 2022 to July 2022 in our department. The surgeries were completed succesfully. The draping of the robotic unit was completed in 8,91 (±2,01) minutes, while the mean docking time was 12,24 (±8,67) minutes. The average console time was 103.2 (±8.39) minutes. No conversion to laparoscopic or open prostatectomy was necessary, and no major complications were observed.

Conclusion

The early outcomes of the use of the avatera robotic system in RARP are presented. No major complications weres noticed. All the cases were safely and efficiently completed.
