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 ...

OBJECTIVES: Nerve sparing may increase positive surgical margin rate during radical prostatectomy. Our objective was to analyze the positive surgical margin rate and location as well as its impact on biochemical recurrence according to nerve sparing ...
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: This study aims to investigate the relationship between perineural invasion (PNI) in targeted (TBx) and/or systematic (SBx) prostate needle biopsy and adverse pathological features of prostate cancer (PCa) in prostatectom...
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) has been increasingly used for renal cell carcinoma in recent years. But the advantages of RARN over open partial nephrectomy (OPN) are still controversial.
INTRODUCTION: Localized urachal cancer (UrC) can be treated with an open partial cystectomy (OPC) with en bloc resection of the urachal remnant and umbilicus. Robot-assisted partial cystectomy (RAPC) is an alternative approach, of which its safety an...
OBJECTIVES: Radical cystectomy (RC) represents the gold standard treatment for high-risk bladder cancer. Despite evidence suggesting that surgical experience correlates with perioperative and oncologic outcomes of robot-assisted RC (RARC), validated ...
Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is challenging in men with prior history of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Few studies analyze this peculiar group of patients, and hence we sought to investigate the outcome of RARP in pos...
CONTEXT: Retzius sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) is increasingly being used, but results of pertinent studies on perioperative, functional, and oncological outcomes comparing the Retzius sparing approach with standard robot-ass...
