Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy Associated with Decreased Persistent Postoperative Opioid Use.


ABSTRACT: Introduction: Minimally invasive surgery offers reduced pain and opioid use postoperatively compared with open surgery, but large-scale comparative studies are lacking. We assessed the incidence of persistent opioid use after open and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective claims database cohort study of opioid-naive (i.e., no opioid prescriptions 30-180 days before index surgery) adult males who underwent radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer from July 2013 to June 2017. For patients who filled a perioperative opioid prescription (30 days before to 14 days after surgery), we calculated the incidence of new persistent postoperative opioid use (?1 prescription 90-180 days after surgery). Multivariable logistic regression was performed to investigate the association between the surgical approach, patient risk factors, and persistent opioid use. Results: Twelve thousand two hundred seventy-eight radical prostatectomy patients filled an opioid prescription perioperatively (1510 [12%] open and 10,768 [88%] robot assisted). Of these, 846 (6.9%) patients continued to fill opioid prescription(s) 90 to 180 days after surgery. Patients undergoing RARP were 35% less likely to develop new persistent opioid use compared with those undergoing open radical prostatectomy (6.5% vs 9.7%; adjusted odds ratio 0.65; 95% confidence interval 0.54, 0.79). Other independent risk factors included living in the southern, western, or north central United States; preoperative comorbidity; and tobacco use. Conclusions: Approximately 6.9% of opioid-naive patients continued to fill opioid prescriptions 90 days after radical prostatectomy. The risk of persistent opioid use was significantly lower among patients undergoing a robot-assisted vs open approach. Further efforts are needed to develop postoperative opioid prescription protocols for patients undergoing radical prostatectomy.
