We report the world's first case series of ten robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) procedures performed with the Dexter robotic system (Distalmotion SA, Épalinges, Switzerland). The Dexter system is an open robotic platform that integrates in...
PURPOSE: To report the trends, predictors, and patient outcomes of same-day discharge (SDD) versus non-SDD for robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP).

To the Editor, Although postoperative pain associated with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is less than pain following the open technique, it remains a fundamental issue as it can be a significant source of discomfort for the patient and ...
BACKGROUND: Virtual reality (VR) simulators are increasingly being used for surgical skills training. It is unclear what skills are best improved via VR, translate to live surgical skills, and influence patient outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is a risk factor for inguinal hernia (IH). Furthermore, in patients who have undergone RARP, the fibrotic scar tissue in the RARP area limits preperitoneal dissection. This study aimed to evalua...
Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy with previous holmium laser enucleation of the prostate is challenging, and few studies have analyzed its perioperative, functional, and oncological outcomes. Here we retrospectively evaluated 298 robot-assisted r...
BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of side-specific extraprostatic extension (ssEPE) is essential for performing nerve-sparing surgery to mitigate treatment-related side-effects such as impotence and incontinence in patients with localised prostate canc...
