Predicting Operational Difficulties and Outcomes of RARP Based on Preoperative Assessment - Introducing the PIODO Questionnaire
Sponsor: Pomeranian Medical University Szczecin
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the factors that affect the course of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and have an impact on functional and oncological outcomes in patients undergoing RARP. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can the investigators predict the occurrence of operational difficulties and outcomes of RARP based on preoperative assessment including body habitus and pelvimetry? Participants undergoing RARP will be assessed preoperatively with the use of a PIODO Questionnaire, a structured protocol of preoperative assessment focusing on clinical data and MRI pelvic measurements to evaluate if the investigators can predict the risk of operational difficulties and possible outcomes of RARP. In a 1 year follow-up the investigators will collect data on functional and oncological outcomes.

Interventions
PIODO Questionnaire
An original PIODO Questionnaire is a structured protocol that has been developed by the investigators of this study for the preoperative assessment of patients undergoing RARP. It evaluates not only clinical data on the prostate cancer, but also patient characteristics, including anthropometric measurements of the pelvis. The aim is to develope a tool that can be used to predict the risk of operational difficulties and possible outcomes of RARP.
