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...
AIM: Although many reports have shown that Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) is effective for postoperative urinary continence, the postoperative voiding status and sexual function associated with this technique have not ...
Landmark artery identification in the neurovascular bundle (NVB) is important for nerve-sparing in radical prostatectomy. We aimed to investigate intraoperative angiography using indocyanine green and near-infrared fluorescence (ICG-NIRF) during robo...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the neurovascular bundle preservation grades during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy and compared to the trifecta combined outcome (oncologic control, continence, and sexual function) twelve months after the surgery.
We aimed to compare three robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) approaches-Retzius sparing (RS), extraperitoneal (EP), and transperitoneal (TP)-performed at our institution using the da Vinci single-port (SP) platform (Intuitive Surgical, Sunn...
PURPOSE: Few data exist regarding the functional outcomes of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder. The aim of this study was to evaluate the urodynamic and functional outcomes in patients undergoing RARC ...

OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate the incidence and extent of orgasmic dysfunction in patients after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and to identify factors that could predict patients at risk.
OBJECTIVE: Differences in outcome after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer can partly be explained by intersurgeon differences, where degree of experience is one important aspect. This study aims to define the learning curve of robot-assisted ...
