Establishment and application of nursing standard operating procedures for DVSS-Si robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy

Abstract

This study aims to develop and implement standard operating procedures (SOPs) for nursing care during DVSS-Si robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) and to evaluate the clinical outcomes of these procedures. We included 140 patients who underwent robot-assisted LRP: 70 patients who received routine perioperative nursing care (control group) from July 2021 to February 2022, and 70 patients who were provided perioperative care according to the newly established SOPs (intervention group) from March 2022 to December 2022. Comparative analysis of operational metrics revealed that the intervention group had shorter operation position placement times, reduced robot installation times, decreased robot usage durations and fewer adverse events compared to the control group. Additionally, doctor satisfaction levels were significantly higher in the intervention group. In conclusion, the implementation of nursing SOPs for DVSS-Si robot-assisted LRP effectively standardized nursing practices in the operating room, leading to enhanced operational efficiency and improved quality of nursing services.
