Table 3 Numeric rating scale of pain intensity and patient-controlled analgesia bolus counts at the 1st, the 6th, the 24th, and the 48th hour after the end of the operation.
| RARP (n=29) | LRP (n=28) | P value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NRS | At the 1 hour | 2.97 (1.38) | 3.18 (1.93) | 0.941 |
| At the 6 hour | 2.14 (1.245) | 2.57 (1.87) | 0.438 | |
| At the 24 hour | 1.62 (1.18) | 2.29 (1.74) | 0.153 | |
| At the 48 hour | 1.55 (1.18) | 1.86 (1.80) | 0.724 | |
| PCA bolus count | 3.66 (2.21) | 2.29 (1.65) | 0.013* | |
| 1–6 hour | 4.41 (3.76) | 4.32 (4.75) | 0.700 | |
| 6–24 hour | 5.76 (10.10) | 5.39 (7.97) | 0.679 | |
| 24–48 hour | 4.14 (7.32) | 5.93 (9.62) | 0.307 | |
| There were no significant differences in numeric rating scale (NRS) between the groups after the operation. The PCA bolus count at the 1 hour after the end of the operation was higher in the RARP group than in the LRP group. RARP, robot-assisted radical prostatectomy; LRP – laparoscopic radical prostatectomy; NRS – numeric rating score; PCA – patient-controlled analgesia. Data are expressed as mean and standard deviation (SD). * | ||||
