Article Synopsis
  • The study compares the two-year functional and oncological outcomes of Retzius-sparing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (rsRALP) vs. standard robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (sRALP) in patients with localized prostate cancer.
  • Results show that rsRALP significantly improves urinary function and quality of life over time, while sexual function differences were negligible after 12 months.
  • Although rsRALP had some negative surgical margin characteristics, it did not affect biochemical recurrence rates after five years, indicating no significant difference in long-term oncological outcomes between the two methods.
