LN: Lymph Node, RP: Radical Prostatectomy, O: Open, R/L: Robot Assisted/Laparoscopic, ECE: Extracapsular Extension, SV: Seminal Vesicle, G1: Group 1 (<=3 Months), G2 = Group 2 (>3 Months). * x2 Test
When we compared 2 groups according to surgical and pathological findings, we found no significant differences between 2 groups regarding all parameters, except SV invasion, nerve sparing rate and surgical modality in final pathology. Significantly more SV invasion in final RP pathology was found in group 1. (12.9% vs. 9.3%, respectively p=0.042) Also more nerve sparing (48.0% vs 41.1, respectively p=0,014) and open surgeries (67.7% vs 62.0%, p=0.014) were performed in group 1. (Table 4)
