Impact of human placental derivative allografts on functional and oncological outcomes after radical prostatectomy: a literature review.

Post radical prostatectomy (RP) erectile dysfunction and incontinence impacts quality of life for patients. In an objective to hasten the recovery of these functional outcomes, human placental derived allografts laid on neurovascular bundles (NVB) have been investigated. These grafts include amniotic membranes (AM) chorionic membranes (CM) or umbilical cord (UC) allografts.

Nerve spare robot assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy with amniotic membranes: medium term outcomes.

dHACM is a source of factors including cytokines that allow anti-inflammatory and proliferative elements to be utilized for wound and ulcer management. We present our experience of using dHACM in a cohort of patients undergoing nerve-sparing (NS) robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). Our objective is to investigate the functional and oncological outcomes of NS after placing amniotic or dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane (dHACM) on preserved neurovascular bundles (NVBs).

Evaluating the ability of students to learn and utilize a novel telepresence platform, Proximie.

Novice users of telesurgery could be limited by their experience and technical ability. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on health care systems is unprecedented, and telehealth allowed care providers and patients a safety margin. An indirect impact of redeployment of hospital staff during COVID-19 management has been on the reduced educational opportunities for residents.
