Clinical data on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) performed with the new Hugo robot-assisted surgery (RAS) system are scarce. We described surgical outcomes of 112 consecutive patients who underwent RARP ± extended pelvic lymph-node dissec...
BACKGROUND: The introduction of robotic surgical systems has significantly impacted urological surgery, arguably more so than other surgical disciplines. The focus of our study was length of hospital stay - patients have traditionally been discharged...
Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) has emerged as a surgical option for patients with prostatic cancer in high-volume centers. The objective is to assess oncological and functional outcomes when implementing RS-RARP in a m...
Port-site metastasis is an extremely rare complication following minimally invasive oncologic surgery for prostate cancer. We present the case of a 74-year-old man who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy followed by salvage ra...
BACKGROUND: The prostatic urethra (PU) is conventionally resected during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RALP). Recent studies demonstrated the feasibility of the extended PU preservation (EPUP).
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of sustainable functional urethral reconstruction (SFUR) on early recovery of urinary continence (UC) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.
Radical prostatectomy (RP) is one of the standard treatments for localized prostate cancer. However, in terms of functional outcomes, there are aspects that still need improvements. We designed this prospective phase I/II clinical trial to assess th...
Robot-assisted surgery is likely to become the new standard of care for functional urology and neurourology. It has the potential to fill the gap that has prevented the spread of laparoscopic surgery in these fields. With its many technical advantage...
PURPOSE: Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) may improve prostate cancer (PCa) detection and support multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) readers for better characterization. We evaluated Watson Elementary (WE) CAD system results referring t...

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of bladder neck plication during transperitoneal robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (tRARP) on orgasm-related incontinence (climacturia) and the relationship between International Index of Erectil...
