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...
Post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence is one of the greatest concerns for both patients and urologists. The aim of this study is to elucidate simple and reliable factors contributing to early recovery of urinary continence (UC) and to develop a pre...
PURPOSE: Aim of the present study is to describe our robot-assisted simple prostatectomy technique and to report 6-month surgical and clinical outcomes.
OBJECTIVE: To develop a convolutional neural network to recognize the seminal vesicle and vas deferens (SV-VD) in the posterior approach of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and assess the performance of the convolutional neural network mod...
