Background Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of foot pain. Patients with plantar fasciitis typically present with 'first step pain,' which tends to decrease with activity and worse with heavy use. This study determines the effect of ultrasound-guided, single-dose, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis.

Background: Although subtle technical variation affects potency preservation during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP), most prostatectomy studies focus on achieving the optimal anatomic nerve-sparing dissection plane. However, the impact of active assistant/surgeon neurovascular bundle (NVB) countertraction on sexual function outcomes has not been studied or quantified.
Objective: To illustrate technique and compare sexual function outcomes for nerve sparing without (NS-0C) versus with (NS-C) assistant and/or surgeon NVB countertraction.

Purpose: Understanding of prostate anatomy has evolved as techniques have been refined and improved for radical prostatectomy (RP), particularly regarding the importance of the neurovascular bundles for erectile function. The objectives of this study were to develop inexpensive and simple but anatomically accurate prostate models not involving human or animal elements to teach the terminology and practical aspects of nerve-sparing RP and simple prostatectomy (SP).
Materials And Methods: The RP model used a Foley catheter with ballistics gelatin in the balloon and mesh fabric (neurovascular bundles) and balloons (prostatic fascial layers) on either side for the practice of inter- and intrafascial techniques.

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.
