BACKGROUND: Aim of the current study is to describe our technique of hydrodissection (HD) of the retroprostatic space (RPS) performed between the Denonvillier's fascia (DF) and prostatic capsule (PC) and to evaluate its impact on the outcomes of nerv...
BACKGROUND: Improved cancer control with increasing surgical experience-the learning curve-was demonstrated for open and laparoscopic prostatectomy. In a prior single-center study, we found that this might not be the case for robot-assisted radical p...
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of salvage radiation therapy (sRT) on survival, functional outcomes, and quality of life in men with persistent prostate-specific antigen (PSA >0.1 ng/mL) after a robot-assisted radical prosta...
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...
The interpretation of conventional MRI may be limited by the two-dimensional presentation of the images. To develop patient-specific MRI prostate-based virtual and three-dimensional (3D)-printed models. To assess the association between 3D imaging an...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of 3D models on positive surgical margin rate (PSM) rate in patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) compared to a no-3D control group. Secondarily, we evaluated the postoperative functional and...
BACKGROUND: Urinary continence (UC) recovery dramatically affects quality of life after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Membranous urethral length (MUL) has been the most studied anatomical variable associated with UC recovery.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between enlarged prostate, bulky median lobe (BML) or prior benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) surgery and perioperative functional, and oncological outcomes in high-risk (HR) prostate cancer (PCa) patients tre...
