MRI has helped clarify the relationship between pelvic anatomical structures and functional outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). The objective of this study was to assess the impact of the bladder neck angle (BNA) measured by ...
BACKGROUND: Contour delineation, a crucial process in radiation oncology, is time-consuming and inaccurate due to inter-observer variation has been a critical issue in this process. An atlas-based automatic segmentation was developed to improve the d...
OBJECTIVES: To describe the innovative intraoperative technologies emerging to aid surgeons during minimally invasive robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.
PURPOSE: To perform a systematic search and review of the available literature on the learning curves (LCs) in laparoscopic and robot-assisted prostate surgery.

AIM: To evaluate the safety (perioperative adverse events) of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and functional outcomes (continence and erectile dysfunction) of open and robotic radical prostatectomy in elderly patients.
CONTEXT: Retzius sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) is increasingly being used, but results of pertinent studies on perioperative, functional, and oncological outcomes comparing the Retzius sparing approach with standard robot-ass...
INTRODUCTION: There is still a lack of availability of high-quality multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) interpreted by experienced uro-radiologists to rule out clinically significant PC (csPC). Consequently, we developed a new imaging ...
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancer and one of the leading causes of death among men, with almost 1.41 million new cases and around 375,000 deaths in 2020. Artificial Intelligence algorithms have had a huge impact on me...
Diagnosis and Gleason grading of prostate cancer in biopsies are critical for the clinical management of men with prostate cancer. Despite this, the high grading variability among pathologists leads to the potential for under- and overtreatment. Arti...
