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...
PURPOSE: To investigate the safety and feasibility of spider silk interposition for erectile nerve reconstruction in patients undergoing robotic radical prostatectomy (RARP).
Limited evidence exists regarding the value of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in promoting health outcomes in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) in Korea, prompting a study to determine its clinical impact. The study included 15,501 pat...
To compare the efficacy and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) performed using the KangDuo surgical robot system to the da Vinci Si robotic system in clinically localized prostate cancer (KD-RARP DV-RARP). A total o...

BACKGROUND: An informed decision regarding a treatment option requires data on its long-term efficacy and side-effect profile. While the side-effects of robotic radical prostatectomy have been well-quantified, the data on its long-term efficacy are l...
Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in men with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 35 kg/m is considered technically challenging. We conducted a retrospective matched-pair analysis to compare the oncological and functional outcomes of RARP in men with B...

OBJECTIVES: To determine candidates for extended pelvic lymph node dissection using a novel nomogram to assess the risk of lymph node invasion in Japanese prostate cancer patients in the robotic era.
AIMS: This study aimed to investigate the postoperative urinary continence rate and incontinence types compared over time between conventional robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (C-RARP) and Retzius-sparing RARP (RS-RARP).
: Inguinal hernia (IH) is a usual finding in men with prostate cancer (PCa) due to their similar risk factors, such as age, gender, and smoking. This study aims to present a single institution's experience with simultaneous IH repair (IHR) and roboti...
