Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy after previous trans-urethral resection of the prostate: an analysis of perioperative, oncological and functional outcomes

Key Points

• Improved functional outcomes were observed after Retzius-sparing procedures, supporting their use post-resection.
• The analysis indicated significant differences in perioperative metrics like hospital stay and recovery time.
• Robot-assisted surgery techniques facilitated better oncological outcomes compared to traditional methods in this context.
• Findings suggest that this surgical approach may minimize complications, enhancing patient quality of life after prostate surgery.
