Abstract

BACKGROUND: Urinary incontinence is a common postoperative complication of radical prostatectomy (RP). In order to improve postoperative urinary continence rate, we proposed a urethral reconstruction technique which can prevent functional urethra retracting and maintain urethral stability. This study aims to describe the novel technique of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and compare it with standard vesicourethral anastomosis (VUA) in the early postoperative urinary continence.
