estimate -2.99, 95%CI -3.45,-2.53) but more anastomotic strictures (OR 1.40, 95%CI 1.04,1.87) and higher rates of salvage therapy (OR 3.67, 95%CI 2.81,4.81). Patients of high-volume MIRP experienced fewer anastomotic strictures (OR 0.93, 95%CI 0.87,0.99) and less salvage therapy (OR 0.92, 95%CI 0.88,0.98). CONCLUSIONS: Men undergoing MIRP vs. open radical prostatectomy have lower risk for perioperative complications and shorter lengths of stay, but are at higher risk for salvage therapy and anastomotic strictures. However, risk for these unfavorable outcomes decreases with increasing MIRP surgical volume.
