Senhance robotic radical prostatectomy: A single-centre, 3-year experience

Background: Senhance Surgical System is a novel robotic platform used in University Hospital Centre Zagreb since February 2019. In this study, we present our 3-year experience with this platform.

Patients and methods: Data were prospectively collected for 200 patients who underwent extraperitoneal robotic radical prostatectomy (RRP) from May 2019 to March 2022.

Results: The median age of the patients was 65 years, and the prostate-specific antigen was 6.9 ng/mL. Clinically, most of the patients had T1c stage. The estimated blood loss was 250 mL, and there were 6 conversions to laparoscopic and 2 to open prostatectomy. There were 15 early postoperative complications, 11 Clavien-Dindo classification grade I, 3 grade II and 1 grade IV. Functional outcomes in the first 150 patients: 140 patients (93.3%) had good urinary control. Thirteen patients underwent additional oncological treatment.

Conclusion: RRP performed with the Senhance robotic platform is a feasible and safe procedure with good initial results.
