INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) long-term oncologic outcomes were published in few studies. This paper provides a complete overview of RARP long-term oncologic and functional results produced in an Italian spoke hospital.
The high quality of MRI reporting of the prostate is the most critical component of the service provided by a radiologist. Prostate MRI structured reporting with PI-RADS v. 2.1 has been proven to improve consistency, quality, guideline-based care in ...
Background Deep learning reconstruction (DLR) may improve image quality. However, its impact on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of the prostate has yet to be assessed. Purpose To determine whether DLR can improve image quality of diffusion-weighted ...
BACKGROUND: The evaluation of automatic segmentation algorithms is commonly performed using geometric metrics. An analysis based on dosimetric parameters might be more relevant in clinical practice but is often lacking in the literature. The aim of t...
This study evaluates the difference of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) costs in patients with similar preoperative characteristics operated on using the da Vinci SP and Xi robotic platforms. We performed a retrospective analysis on 71 con...

BACKGROUND: We investigated the effect of the extent of pelvic lymph node dissection (LND) on biochemical recurrence (BCR) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) without lymph node involvement (LNI) treated with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Prostate cancer (PCa) is a severe public health issue and the most common cancer worldwide in men. Early diagnosis can lead to early treatment and long-term survival. The addition of the multiparametric magnetic resonance im...
Accurate prostate cancer screening is imperative for reducing the risk of cancer death. Ultrasound imaging, although easy, tends to have low resolution and high inter-observer variability. Here, we show that our integrated machine learning approach e...
To determine safety and feasibility of single-port Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (SP-rsRARP) using the da Vinci SP (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA) robotic platform in men with adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Twenty-eight ...
