Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates risk factors for developing postoperative overactive bladder (OAB) in patients who received an adjustable trans-obturator male system (ATOMS) for stress incontinence after prostate cancer treatment.
  • It involved 56 patients, collecting clinical and urodynamic data before and after ATOMS implantation to identify factors impacting OAB and treatment efficacy.
  • Key findings included that higher preoperative urinary incontinence intensity, poor ICIQ scores, and specific urodynamic measures (like bladder capacity and urethral resistance) are significant risk factors for developing OAB, with detrusor overactivity being a crucial element.

Background: Radical prostatectomy by lateral approach allows performing a prostatectomy through a buttonhole, with direct access to the seminal vesicle and fully sparing the anterior pubovesical complex. Our aim is to show the results of reproducing the technique of robotic radical prostatectomy by lateral approach, in terms of intraoperative, postoperative, oncological and functional parameters.

Methods: We analyzed 513 patients submitted to robotic radical prostatectomy by lateral approach from January 2015 to March 2021, operated on by two surgeons in our institution.
