BACKGROUND: Intraoperative urinary collecting system entry (CSE) in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) may cause postoperative urinary leakage and extend the hospitalization. Therefore, identifying and firmly closing the entry sites are import...
We evaluated the feasibility and impact on short- and long-term functional outcomes of very early catheter removal on postoperative day (POD) 2 after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first multisu...
