Article Synopsis
- Salvage radical prostatectomy (sRP) has transitioned from open surgery to minimally invasive techniques, and can benefit patients experiencing local recurrence by improving survival rates.
- A study of 53 patients evaluated three surgical approaches—retropubic (RRP), conventional robotic-assisted (cRARP), and Retzius-sparing robotic (rsRARP)—measuring outcomes such as blood loss, continence, and biochemical recurrence (BCR).
- Results indicated that rsRARP had the lowest median blood loss and a better BCR rate (14%) compared to RRP (64%) and cRARP (57%), highlighting its potential advantages in surgical safety and patient recovery.
Invasive Treatments for Low Back Disorders.

Objective: This abbreviated version of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine's Low Back Disorders guideline reviews the evidence and recommendations developed for invasive treatments used to manage low back disorders.
Methods: Comprehensive systematic literature reviews were accomplished with article abstraction, critiquing, grading, evidence table compilation, and guideline finalization by a multidisciplinary expert panel and extensive peer-review to develop evidence-based guidance. Consensus recommendations were formulated when evidence was lacking and often relied on analogy to other disorders for which evidence exists.
