Abstract

BACKGROUND: Prior studies on robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) have shown that preservation of the anterior periprostatic structures is associated with good functional outcomes in terms of urinary continence and erectile function. With this in mind, we developed a technique for preservation of the lower part of the detrusor apron (LDA) and anterior periprostatic structures at the time of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and intracorporeal neobladder (ICNB) reconstruction.
