The aim of the study is to compare the utility and efficacy of the LigaSure system and standard surgical clips for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. The medical records of 473 patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy between Ma...
The functional and oncologic outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in octogenarians are not well studied. We sought to study the perioperative, functional, and oncologic outcomes of RARP in octogenarian men. Between January 2009 a...
BACKGROUND: Use of the single-port da Vinci SP robotic platform for various urological procedures has been described by several groups. However, the comparative performance of the SP robot in relation to earlier models such as the da Vinci Xi is stil...
BACKGROUND: Preservation of erectile function is an important postoperative quality of life concern for patients after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer. Although erectile function may recover, many men continue to suffe...
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.

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...
