Overview

Propensity score-matched analysis shows improved urinary and sexual function in a surgical population, suggesting a beneficial technique for recovery.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the pubovesical complex-preserving technique in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
  • Conducted a propensity score-matched analysis comparing traditional intra-LRP and PPLRP techniques.
  • Assessed early recovery of urinary continence and sexual function post-surgery.
  • PPLRP led to significantly better preservation of the pubovesical complex and neurovascular bundle.
  • Patients experienced improved urinary continence and sexual function without an increase in oncological risk.
  • PPLRP can be successfully performed in hospitals with standard laparoscopic systems.
