Prostatectomy is a standard operation, increasingly performed using robotic assistance. During robotic assisted procedures, the intraabdominal pressures are usually higher than in standard laparoscopic operations which can pose a risk of cardiovascular and respiratory adverse effects. The aim of this study is to investigate the haemodynamic and ventilatory effects of robotic assisted prostatectomy, compared to standard laparoscopic prostatectomy.
The aim of the study is to analyse the haemodynamic and ventilatory changes in patients undergoing robotic prostatectomy, compared to standard laparoscopic prostatectomy.
