Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To assess the prevalence of preoperative anaemia and the impact of preoperative anaemia and blood transfusion requirement on 30- and 90-day complications in a cohort of patients undergoing robotic assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion (iRARC). PATIENTS & METHODS: IRARC was performed on 166 patients between June 2011-March 2016. Prospective data was collected for patient demographics, clinical and pathological characteristics, perioperative variables, transfusion requirements and hospital length of stay. Thirty- and 90-day complications were classified according to the modified Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center Clavian-Dindo system. RESULTS: Preoperative anaemia was common (43.4%) and greatest in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (48.6%) (p<0.001). Patients with preoperative anaemia were significantly more likely to have an Ileal conduit (p=0.033), higher cystectomy stage (≥pT3) (p=0.028) and a lower lymph node yield (p=0.031). Preoperative anaemia was not associated with increased perioperative morbidity but was associated with the need for blood transfusion (p=0.001). Blood transfusion was required in 20.4% of patients with intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusion rate was 10.2% and 13.9% respectively. The 30-day all complication rate and 30-day major complication rate was 55.4% and 15.7% respectively while 90-day all complication rate and 90-day major complication rate were 65.7% and 19.3% respectively. Intraoperative blood transfusion was not associated with increased complications but postoperative blood transfusion requirement was independently associated with perioperative morbidity: all 30 day complications (p=0.003), all 90-day complications (p=0.009) and 90-day major complications (p=0.004). CONCLUSION: The presence of preoperative anaemia in patients undergoing iRARC is not associated with increased surgical risk although preoperative anaemic patients were significantly more likely to require blood transfusion. Blood transfusion requirement and specifically postoperative blood transfusion is independently associated with perioperative morbidity and is an important factor for the optimisation of postoperative outcomes.
