Randomized Controlled TrialA Prospective Randomized Study of Pfannenstiel Versus Expanded Port Site Incision for Intact Specimen Extraction in Laparoscopic Radical Nephrectomy.
To compare intra- and postoperative outcome of patients undergoing laparoscopic radical nephrectomy with intact specimen extraction through a Pfannenstiel (PFN) transverse suprapubic or expanded port site (EPS) incision in a prospective randomized fashion. ⋯ PFN incision has less morbidity, pain score, and hospital stay compared with EPS incision for intact specimen extraction after transperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy. Both incisions are associated with high operative satisfaction, good cosmesis, and a low rate of wound complications.

Comparative StudyA National, Comparative Analysis of Perioperative Outcomes of Open and Minimally Invasive Simple Prostatectomy.
To compare perioperative outcomes of open (OSP) and minimally invasive (MISP) simple prostatectomy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in a large national cohort using validated patient safety measures. ⋯ In this, the first national analysis of simple prostatectomy, use of both OSP and MISP rose substantially from 2008 to 2010. Although transfusion prevalence was lower and LOS shorter for MISP, these differences did not attain significance. Further comparative analyses are needed.
