Input (English): Question: Does spinal anesthesia impact prostate cancer recurrence in a cohort of men undergoing radical prostatectomy : an observational study?
Answer: This was a retrospective study of patients with prostate cancer who have undergone radical prostatectomy during a time period when the practice of anesthesia for prostatectomy at our institution was transitioned from spinal to general anesthesia. In our study, when controlling for other predictors of advanced prostate cancer, the type of anesthetic given during prostatectomy had no effect on the risk of biochemical recurrence.
