The influence of anatomical parameters on urinary continence (UC) after Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) remains uncharted. Our objective was to evaluate their association with UC at 3, 6 and 12 months post-operatively. Data from patients who underwent RS-RARP were prospectively collected.

- Urinary incontinence is a major issue after radical prostatectomy, and variations in surgeon experience may influence recovery rates.
- A study on 405 patients showed good outcomes, with 87% pad-free and 51% experiencing no leaks at one year post-surgery, regardless of surgeon experience.
- The findings suggest that continence recovery after Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy is generally stable and not significantly affected by the number of surgeries performed by individual surgeons.
Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) has emerged as a surgical option for patients with prostatic cancer in high-volume centers. The objective is to assess oncological and functional outcomes when implementing RS-RARP in a medium-volume center without previous experience of robotic surgery. This is a prospective observational single-center study.
