Functional recovery, oncologic outcomes and postoperative complications 12 months following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: Follow-up of an evidence-based analysis comparing the Retzius-sparing and standard approaches
The Journal of Urology Dec 13, 2017
Menon M, et al. - The goal of this paper was to report 1-year update of functional (urinary and sexual) recovery, oncological outcomes, and postoperative complications in prostate cancer (PCa) patients who completed a randomized controlled trial comparing posterior (Retzius-sparing) with anterior robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Variations were reported in urinary continence amongst patients with clinically low-intermediate risk PCa randomized to anterior (‘Menon’) or posterior (‘Bocciardi’) approach RARP, at 12 months follow-up. On the other hand, the findings demonstrated comparable sexual function recovery, postoperative complications and biochemical recurrence rates, 1-year postoperatively.
