In the era of robotic prostate surgery, various techniques have been developed to improve functional outcomes. Urinary continence has shown satisfactory results, but the preservation of lateral nerves to the periprostatic capsule is only achievable by sparing the pubovesical complex. This study aims to present the first cases of lateral-approach robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (LRRP) performed by a novice surgeon.

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.

Pubovesical fistula (PVF) is a rare complication of radical treatments for prostate cancer (PCa), especially when a multimodal approach is performed. We present a case of PVF with extensive communication between the bladder and the pubic bones, and lymph node metastases of PCa treated by cystectomy and salvage lymphadenectomy. We describe a case of a 65-year old male patient who, after radical prostatectomy and adjuvant radiation therapy, suffered from suprapubic and perineal pain, ambulation difficulties and recurrent urinary tract infections.

Objective: To investigate the impact of extirpative surgery for pubic bone osteomyelitis with pubovesical fistula on prostate cancer survivors' physical and mental health.

Materials And Methods: The Short Form 12 (SF-12) is a validated instrument for assessing health-related quality of life (HRQOL). We reviewed a prospectively maintained database of patients treated with extirpative surgery for pubovesical fistula from 2017-2021 who completed the SF-12.
