Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the outcomes of men undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) with and without the use of neurovascular structure-adjacent frozen-section examination (NeuroSAFE) over different time frames.
- A total of 1,199 men participated, with follow-up revealing similar 5-year biochemical recurrence (BCR) rates in both groups (11%).
- The NeuroSAFE group showed comparable rates of incontinence (5.1% vs 7.7%) but significantly lower levels of erectile dysfunction (57% vs 80%) after one year compared to the standard of care group.
We aimed to assess concordance between renal tumour biopsy (RTB) and surgical pathology from robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) or robotic-assisted radical nephrectomy (RARN). Patients with preoperative RTB undergoing RAPN or RARN for suspected malignancy (9 September 2013-9 September 2023) were enrolled retrospectively from three sites. Patients were excluded if the tumour had prior cryotherapy or if biopsy or nephrectomy histology were unavailable or inconclusive.
