Overview

Retrospective study evaluates surgical safety and functional outcomes in men with localized prostate cancer, suggesting feasibility in nonrobotic settings.

Key Points

  • This study aims to assess the feasibility and outcomes of Retzius-sparing laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in a nonrobotic environment.
  • Retrospective single-center study involving 30 men with localized prostate cancer treated with laparoscopic surgery.
  • Procedures performed by a single experienced laparoscopic surgeon between October 2022 and November 2023.
  • Co-primary endpoints included procedural completion pattern and perioperative safety within 30 days.
  • 86.7% of cases completed fully via the posterior approach with no open conversions.
  • 23.3% positive surgical margin rate observed in the cohort.
  • Social continence rates improved from 23.3% at catheter removal to 93.3% at 12 and 18 months.
