- 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.
