Overview

Prospective trial improves urinary continence in localized prostate cancer, indicating PVC preservation's benefits without added complications.

Key Points

  • Continence recovery rate was significantly higher at 6 months, showing 82.4% in the PVC group compared to 57.6%.
  • Operative time and blood loss were notably greater with PVC preservation, at 109 minutes and 365 ml respectively.
  • Randomized, double-blinded clinical trial employed a controlled approach with 72 participants receiving either standard LRP or PVC-preserving surgery.
  • Technique maintains oncologic safety while improving recovery metrics, making it useful in settings without robotic assistance.
