Abstract
Introduction: Aminoglycosides, valued for their lower antimicrobial resistance, are used for perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP) in urological procedures such as robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). However, data regarding the safety of gentamicin in robot-assisted surgery remain limited. This study assessed the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with PAP with single-dose gentamicin during the transition from open prostatectomy to RARP.
Methods: This single-center, retrospective, matched case-control study included 77 RARP patients receiving gentamicin and 72 matched controls receiving cefuroxime. AKI was assessed using the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO) criteria, considering age, comorbidities, and prostate weight.
Results: AKI occurred in 33.8% of the gentamicin group versus 9.7% of the cefuroxime group, resulting in an odd's ratio (OR) of 6.25. In the gentamicin group, grade 1 AKI was most frequent (19.5%), followed by grade 2 (7.8%) and grade 3 (6.5%). In the cefuroxime group, grades 1 (5.6%) and 2 (4.2%) were observed. Prostate volume and gentamicin use emerged as independent cofactors. Limitations include missing long-term data, variable gland measurements, and inclusion of patients with pre-existing kidney disease.
Conclusion: The risk of AKI was significantly higher after PAP with gentamicin compared to PAP with cefuroxime (OR: 6.25, 95% CI: 2.095-18.664, p = 0.001), suggesting that PAP with gentamicin should be avoided in RARP.
期刊介绍:
Concise but fully substantiated international reports of clinically oriented research into science and current management of urogenital disorders form the nucleus of original as well as basic research papers. These are supplemented by up-to-date reviews by international experts on the state-of-the-art of key topics of clinical urological practice. Essential topics receiving regular coverage include the introduction of new techniques and instrumentation as well as the evaluation of new functional tests and diagnostic methods. Special attention is given to advances in surgical techniques and clinical oncology. The regular publication of selected case reports represents the great variation in urological disease and illustrates treatment solutions in singular cases.
