Abstract

Radical cystectomy (RC) remains associated with a greater number of postsurgical complications than any urological procedure. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol is a multimodal perioperative care pathway designed to achieve early postsurgical recovery. We evaluated the perioperative outcome of post-RC patients, comparing the effectiveness of ERAS to conventional recovery protocols. We identified 37 patients who underwent RC for bladder cancer from 2016 to 2018. The characteristics, complication rate and clinical outcomes were evaluated in these groups of patients. In this study, the mortality was 8.1%, and the complications were 37.8%. The most frequent complications were anastomotic leakage (16.2%), wound dehiscence (13.5%), infections/sepsis (8.1%), and paralytic ileus (8.1%). The ERAS protocol significantly reduced operative time (p=0.001; OR=216; CI95%: 12.0-3855.2) and reduced overall complications (p=0.04; OR= 0.14 CI95%: 0.016-1.132). Extensive complications and mortality develop following the RC procedure. Meanwhile, refinement in perioperative care has been reducing the rate of serious complications. The ERAS protocol distinctly reduces the post-RC complication rate.

Abstract

Cancer prostate (PCa) is currently reported as the most diagnosed cancer in males. Bone metastases in PCa indicate poor prognosis and the major cause of pain and death. Early diagnosis of metastases is important in PCa management. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) velocity was used to predict overall survival and metastasis-free survival. However, this test should be conducted 2 times, for at least 4 weeks apart. Therefore, a cross-sectional test with higher positive probability value is needed. This study aimed to compare PSA density (PSAD) and PSA level to evaluate patients at risk of bone metastases in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Aretrospective study with a total subject of 106 patients with (n = 31) and without (n = 75) bone metastases were analyzed. The initial PSA measurement, as well as bone scan and prostate volume, were evaluated in all patients. Bone survey found to be positive in 31/106 (29.2%) patients. The total of 50(47.2%), 10(9.4%) and 46(43.4%) patients had PSA level <50, 50-100 and >100ng/mL, respectively. Furthermore, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) area under the curve of PSAD (0.75) was higher that that ofPSA (0.65).PSAD more than 0.15 indicated sensitivity of 93% and specificity of 38%, while PSA more than 20 ng/mL shown sensitivity 82% and specificity 21%. In conclusion, PSAD level more than 0.15 shows high sensitivity and specificity in causing potential skeletal metastases. Using this PSAD cut-off value, unnecessary investigation canbe avoided.
