Objective: To appraise the outcomes on the Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (Rs-RARP) learning curve of a surgeon with previous experience of anterior (standard) RARP.
Materials And Methods: The first 50 cases during the Rs-RARP learning curve (group 1) and 50 cases after the second 100 cases with the standard approach (group 2) were comprised in the study. Patients who used zero or one safety pads were considered continent. Erectile function recuperation was characterized as the competence to achieve penetrative intercourse without receiving any medication. All patients were reevaluated at two weeks, first, third, sixth, and 12th months after surgery using IIEF-5, PSA level, and continence status.
Results: Immediate continence rates following catheter removal were 32/50 (64%) in Rs-RARP group and 26/50 (52%) in S-RARP group (p = 0.224). The continence recovery rate was 48/50 (96%) in Rs-RARP group and 46/50 (92%) in the S-RARP group at 12 months follow-up (p = 0.400). Total nerve-sparing surgery was enforced in 36/50 (72%) patients for group 1 and 35/50 (70%) patients for group 2. Potency recovery was 27/43 (62.8%) in Rs-RARP and 30/44 (68.2%) for S-RARP at 12 months follow up (p = 0.597). Surgical margin positivity was detected in 6/50 (12%) cases in the Rs-RARP group and in 4/50 (8%) cases in the S-RARP (p = 0.444).
Conclusions: Functional and oncological results are not negatively affected in the first 50 cases for a surgeon who is experienced in S-RARP before transition to the Rs-RARP method.

Department of Urology, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo 113-8655, Japan.
Background: The aim of this study is to describe the first series of six patients undergoing Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (rs-RARP) using the hinotori surgical robot system (hinotori SRS) and to compare the treatment outcomes with those achieved with the da Vinci surgical platform.
Methods: This study included 20 cases involving the rs-RARP procedure (hinotori: N = 6; da Vinci: N = 14) that were performed between May 2021 and April 2024 in a single institution.
Results: No significant differences were observed between the hinotori and da Vinci groups regarding the preoperative findings.

We detail our approach and experience with a hybrid version of the endopelvic hood-sparing (HS) robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) using the da Vinci robotic platform. We retrospectively reviewed the records of 200 patients who underwent RARP by a single surgeon. Patients were propensity-matched into three cohorts depending on biopsy and prostatectomy Gleason Grade Groups: traditional retropubic (RP) ( = 80), retzius-sparing (RS) ( = 40), and HS ( = 80).

Retzius-sparing prostatectomy was promoted with the early continence result. The long-term oncologic outcome is still unknown. In this study, we aimed to compare the intermediate-term oncologic outcomes of these two approaches in patients' cohort who were treated as part of a randomized controlled trial.

Background: The aim was to investigate the incidence and clinical predictive factors of de novo overactive bladder (OAB) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), including a Retzius-sparing (RS) approach, in the same period at a single institution.
Methods: Of a total of 113 patients with localized prostate cancer, 81 received conventional RARP (CON-RARP) and 32 received RS-RARP at our institution. The basic characteristics data of patients and self-assessment questionnaires, including IPSS and OABSS, were obtained preoperatively and 1, 3, and 6 months after RARP.

Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) allows the preservation of the structures advocated to play a crucial role in the continence mechanism. This study aims to evaluate the association between adjuvant radiation therapy (aRT) and urinary continence (UC) recovery after RS-RARP. For the purpose of the current study, all patients submitted to RS-RARP for prostate cancer (PCa) at a single high-volume European institution between January 2010 and December 2021 were identified.
