A Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial Examining the Impact of the Retzius-sparing Approach on Early Urinary Continence Recovery After Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomy.
Summary
To assess and compare the short-term post-operative continence recovery rate in two cohorts of men undergoing Robot Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP), each randomized to undergo RARP with Vattikuti Institute technique or Retzius sparing technique.
