Purpose: Functional and anatomical changes associated with prostate removal coincide with alterations in pelvic structures. Posterior rhabdosphincter reconstruction was designed to improve urinary continence after radical prostatectomy. The aim of this study was to determine magnetic resonance anatomic predictors of urinary recovery after radical prostatectomy, and to assess their relation to the type of reconstruction.
Material And Methods: Forty patients were randomly selected from a trial (NCT03302169). Two independent radiologists determined the situation of the anastomosis in the pelvis according to MRI performed a month after the radical prostatectomy: vertical situation assessed as the distance to the line coccyx-inferior pubic margin (ACPv) and anteroposterior situation as the distance from the pubis (Distance A), and from the coccyx (Distance B).
Results: The Pearson correlation of ACPv, Distance A, and B between readers were 0.975, 0.940, and 0.711, p < 0.001. Patients with the reconstruction presented more cephalic situation of the anastomosis (higher ACPv) than patients with standard reconstruction technique. A multivariate analysis was performed including age, BMI, prostate volume, PRRS, and the MRI parameters. ACPv and Distance B were the only two independent predictors of no need for any urinary protection at 6 months after the surgery.
Conclusions: This is the first study that suggests positional differences according to the type of reconstruction after radical prostatectomy related to early urinary recovery. Magnetic resonance measurements to determine anastomosis positioning are reliable and have a strong correlation between readers. Anatomic MRI features are independent predictors of urinary recovery after robotic radical prostatectomy.

Background: We investigated whether combining T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and clinical risk categories improves upon established prognostic indicators of oncological outcomes in prostate cancer.
Methods: Patients who underwent radical prostatectomy, but not preoperative hormone therapy, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy, for localized prostate cancer at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital from October 2007 to April 2016 were included. MRIs were classified according to the Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS).

Restoration of postoperative urinary continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is affected by diverse factors. We compared the pad-free and positive margin rates of patients who underwent RARP with or without bladder neck sparing (BNS) for prostate cancer. During this systematic review and metaanalysis, we performed an electronic search of the Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and PubMed to find original articles comparing RARP with and without BNS for prostate cancer.

Background/aim: This study aims to compare the success rates of rigid registration (RR) and elastic registration (ER) systems in diagnosing all cancers and clinically significant prostate cancer (csPC) in software-based targeted prostate biopsies (TPBs) by performing matching analysis.
Materials And Methods: The data of 2061 patients from six centers where software-based TPB is performed were used. All cancer and csPC detection rates of the RR and ER systems were compared following Mahalanobis distance matching with the propensity score caliper method.
Background: Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is widely used as the main surgical approach to treat prostate cancer in the United States. Prostate size is often described as a factor affecting the outcomes of RARP as shown by many studies. However, these studies are limited to a small number of patients.

Prostate cancer, a common malignancy in older men, often requires laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, considered the gold standard treatment. However, postoperative complications can significantly impact quality of life and psychological well-being. The emergence of mobile internet health management offers a promising approach for accessible and effective post-discharge care.
