Urological and sexual function after robotic and laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer: A systematic review, meta‐analysis and meta‐regression

Abstract

Background

This systematic review sought to compare the urogenital functions after laparoscopic (LAP) and robotic (ROB) surgery for rectal cancer.

Methods

This study conformed to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses guidelines.

Results

Twenty‐six studies (n = 2709 for ROB, n = 2720 for LAP) were included. There was a lower risk of 30‐day urinary retention in the ROB group (risk ratios 0.78, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.61–0.99), but the long‐term risk was comparable (p = 0.460). Meta‐regression showed a small, positive relationship between age and risk of 30‐day urinary retention in both the ROB (p = 0.034) and LAP groups (p = 0.004). The International Prostate Symptom Score was better in the ROB group at 3 months (mean difference [MD] −1.58, 95% CI −3.10 to −0.05). The International Index of Erectile Function score was better in the ROB group at 6 months (MD 4.06, 95% CI 2.38 – 5.74).

Conclusion

While robotics may improve urogenital function after rectal surgery, the quality of evidence is low based on the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach.
