Abstract

The aim of our work was to present a review of technical features and complications of general anesthesia during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP). Data on RALRP and general anesthesia were explored on Medline using the following MeSH terms: radical prostatectomy; morbidity; anesthesia complications; laparoscopy; robotics; Trendeleburg. Publications were considered on the following criteria: methodology, relevance and date of publication. There was no data of level of evidence 1 available. The first RALRP was reported in 2000. Technological innovation brought by the robot with its 3-D vision, the acquisition of degrees of mobility and a more ergonomic position for the surgeon, have led to a growing interest from new teams in the western world. However, the RALRP generates constraints for the anesthesia team who need to incorporate the rules of laparoscopy and the patient's specific installation to guarantee maximum safety. There are inherent complications...
