Abstract Purpose  The aim of the present study was to investigate whether renal dysfunction following rhabdomyolysis occurs after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), and to investigate the factors related to rhabdomyolysis after RARP. Methods  A total of 180 consecutive patients who underwent RARP at our institution were investigated. Rhabdomyolysis was defined as creatine kinase (CK) > 1050 IU/L after RARP. The association between CK and renal function after RARP was investigated, and the factors related to rhabdomyolysis after RARP were also investigated. Results  Postoperative CK (407 ± 936 IU/L) was significantly higher than preoperative CK (134 ± 75 IU/L) (p  25.7 kg/m2) and longer console time (> 188 min) (p = 0.02 and p = 0.005, respectively). Conclusion  Temporary renal dysfunction can occur after RARP due to CK elevation. Thus, sufficient attention must be paid to renal insufficiency after elevation of CK values for several days after RARP. Because rhabdomyolysis after RARP was associated with both obesity and long console time, console time during RARP should be shortened, especially in patients with obesity.

Introduction Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) via the transperitoneal approach, which has been accepted throughout the world, is performed in the high lithotomy position with a steep 25–30 degree head-down position [1, 2]. In this surgical position for RARP via the transperitoneal approach, excessive flexure of the knee can cause a local circulatory disturbance in the lower limb, damaging skeletal muscle and * Akifumi Onagi [email protected] 1

nerves [3]. It is considered that, in this surgical position, rhabdomyolysis can easily occur [4]. At the worst, so-called compartment syndrome can occur after surgery [4, 5]. Pridgeon et al. reported that compartment syndrome occurred after RARP in 0.29% of cases [6]. Skeletal muscle damage induces release of creatine kinase (CK) and myoglobin into the blood stream [7, 8]. These enzymes occlude the renal tubules, which can cause acute renal failure [7, 8]. This pathological condition is rhabdomyolysis [7, 8]. Although there are no definitive criteria for the diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis, development of acute renal failure occurs readily when CK values exceed 10005000 IU/L [9–12]. After the occurrence of rhabdomyolysis, 15–46% of patients developed acute renal failure, and 4.3% of the pa
