Incidence and Risk Factors of Postoperative Complications in Patients Undergoing Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Turkish journal of anaesthesiology and reanimation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) is increasingly used in the treatment of prostate cancer due to its minimally invasive nature, reduced perioperative bleeding, and shorter hospital stays. However, the steep Trendelenburg position and CO₂ pneumoperitoneum required for the procedure present unique anaesthetic challenges, particularly in elderly patients with comorbidities. This study aimed to determine the incidence of anaesthetic complications during RALP and identify independent risk factors associated with these events. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital between 2019 and 2024. A total of 1,020 patients who underwent RALP were evaluated. Collected data included demographic characteristics, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification, comorbidities, and intra- and postoperative outcomes. Anaesthetic complications were analyzed, and multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictors. Results: The mean patient age was 65.0±6.3 years, with 65.3% classified as ASA II and 61.6% having at least one comorbidity. Anaesthetic complications occurred in 4.4% of patients. Those with complications were significantly older (67.9±6.2 vs. 64.9±6.3 years, Conclusion: RALP can be safely performed in experienced centers with individualized anaesthetic management. However, older age, longer hospitalization, and PACU admission significantly increase the risk of anaesthetic complications. These findings emphasize the need for preoperative risk stratification and tailored perioperative care to improve safety outcomes. Prospective, multicenter studies are needed to confirm these results and guide future anaesthetic strategies in robotic urologic surgery.
