Salvage robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy after targeted high-intensity focused ultrasound: a single-center study on feasibility, oncological and functional outcomes

Key Points

• Salvage robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy proves to be a safe and feasible option for patients post-targeted high-intensity focused ultrasound.
• Early oncological outcomes show favorable results, indicating the potential effectiveness of this treatment strategy for recurrence.
• The analysis included specific patient selections, which underscores the tailored approach needed for optimal outcomes.
• These findings highlight the importance of exploring alternative therapies like targeted HIFU in managing prostate cancer during recurrence.
