306 Chapter 12 Relation between Kinovea results and postoperative continence status Although patient selection was based on continence, a number of additional outcomes were compared to the video motion tracking data in order to assess if there was a relation. These postoperative outcomes included patient reported outcome measures (PROMs), lower urinary tract symptoms, measured using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS)11,12, the Lower urinary tract symptoms domain of the EORTC QLQ-PR25 score (EORTC QLQ-PR25 score)13–15, and postoperative complications, which were registered in the patients’ medical files as they occurred. Relation between Kinovea results of different phases of the surgery and postoperative continence status The surgery was divided in seven surgical phases which were defined in the PROTEST assessment method6 developed by this research group. To investigate the relation between Kinovea results and the “Pelvic floor muscle exposure/opening of the endopelvic fascia”, and “Vesico-urethral anastomosis” specific analysis for these phases were performed. Methods of measurement The automated surgical movements tracking was performed by one researcher using Kinovea 0.8.15. The researcher was instructed in the use of Kinovea and the surgical procedure by a researcher experienced in the use of Kinovea and the RARP procedure.
