Hood technique in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer
Objective:To explore the application value and safety of Hood technique in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy(LRP).Methods:The retrospective analysis of 88 prostate cancer patients undergoing LRP in Quzhou Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2021 to December 2022 was performed,and these patients were divided into the control group(40 cases)and the observation group(48 cases)according to whether the Hood technique was applied.The control group used conventional LRP,while LRP with the Hood technique was performed on the observation group.Intraoperative related data and postoperative urinary control and sexual function were compared between the two groups.Results:Compared with the control group,the opera-tion time in the observation group significantly shortened(P<0.05).The drainage tube indwelling time,urinary catheter indwelling time and hospital stay in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).However,there was no significant difference in postop-erative complications,Gleason score or positive rate of urethral margin between the two groups(P>0.05).The number of normal urinary control cases in each time period after urinary catheter removal in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,and the difference in urinary control in each time period was statistically significant between the two groups(P<0.05).The scores of male sexual function questionnaire in the observation group were better than those in the control group at 1,3 and 6 months after operation,and the difference was sta-tistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:Compared with conventional LRP,LRP combined with Hood tech-nology can shorten the length of hospital stay,promote urinary continence and recovery of sexual function in pros-tate cancer patients without increasing the risk of operation time,complications and positive resection margin rate,which is worthy of promotion.
