BACKGROUND: Radical perineal prostatectomy (RPP) has been revived with the advent of single-port (SP) robotic surgery. However, its interest and precise role need to be evaluated and better defined.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an increasingly important tool for the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. However, interpretation of MRI suffers from high inter-observer variability across radiologists, thereby contributing to missed cli...

PURPOSE: Some patients who undergo robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) continue to experience long-term urinary incontinence (UI). This study aimed to evaluate easily obtainable factors that can predict long-term UI following RAR...
Screening for prostate cancer relies on the serum prostate-specific antigen test, which provides a high rate of false positives (80%). This results in a large number of unnecessary biopsies and subsequent overtreatment. Considering the frequency of t...

Histological Gleason grading of tumor patterns is one of the most powerful prognostic predictors in prostate cancer. However, manual analysis and grading performed by pathologists are typically subjective and time-consuming. In this paper, we present...
BACKGROUND: Identifying predictors of positive surgical margins (PSM) and biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP) may assist clinicians in formulating prognosis. Aim of the study was to report the midterm oncologic outcomes, to ...
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to report the overall results and the learning curve (LC) in salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (sRARP) patients, in terms of morbidity, oncological and functional outcomes in a single surgeon tertiary-...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Radiotherapeutic dose escalation to dominant intraprostatic lesions (DIL) in prostate cancer could potentially improve tumor control. The purpose of this study was to develop a method to accurately register multiparametric mag...
PURPOSE: To analyze the trifecta outcome (continence, potency, and cancer control) longitudinally using robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP).
