Objectives: To present a modification of our previously published technique of nerve-sparing endoscopic extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy (nsEERPE).
Methods: The technique enables puboprostatic ligament preservation, leaving intact the puboprostatic ligaments, endopelvic fascia, periprostatic fascia, and neurovascular bundles (intrafascial dissection). The modification of nsEERPE was performed in 50 consecutive patients.
Results: The total operative time was 131 minutes (range 75 to 165). The mean catheterization time was 5.4 days (range 5 to 14).
Conclusions: The intrafascial nsEERPE is a modification of our previously published standard nsEERPE. The anterior approach to the periprostatic fascia enables less traumatic dissection from the prostate and thus, theoretically, a more viable neurovascular bundle.

Background: Transferring the intricate laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) technique poses a considerable challenge for novice surgeons. Fellowship programs, typically lasting three to twelve months, remain the primary avenue for acquiring laparoscopic skills. This study proposes that residency-based laparoscopy training confers distinct advantages over fellowship programs during the initial stages of LRP.

Background: While radical prostatectomy stands out as one of the most effective curative treatments for prostate cancer, it does come with annoying side effects, such as urinary incontinence (UI). We aimed to investigate the predictability of UI using MRI measurements, along with clinical and disease-related variables.
Methods: We included 191 patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy between July 2020 and October 2022 in the study.
