The 'prostate-muscle index': a simple pelvic cavity measurement predicting estimated blood loss and console time in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Scientific reports Jul 13, 2022
This study was to show the impact of 'prostate-muscle index (PMI)', which we developed as a novel pelvic cavity measurement, in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). We defined PMI as the 'distance between the inner edge of...
