Background: Prostate biopsy represents one of the most frequently performed urologic procedures worldwide and therefore presupposes knowledge on potential effects like on the erectile function, especially in extensive or repeated biopsies. The robotic-assisted biopsy system (Mona Lisa) offers a minimal invasive approach via only two incision points ensuring maximal accuracy combined with protection of the neurovascular bundle of the prostate.
Objective: Our purpose was to analyse the impact of robotic-assisted transperineal biopsy of the prostate on the erectile function.
