Focal cryotherapy is a promising option for carefully selected patients, although optimization of inclusion criteria is required. Current selection criteria are associated with cancer-free survival. Given no accurate definitions for biochemical failure after focal cryotherapy exist combined with our high biochemical failure rate, mandating 12-month follow-up TRUS biopsy may improve accurate detection of cancer progression. Further follow up will determine optimal patient selection criteria and follow-up protocols for patients undergoing primary focal unilateral nerve-sparing prostate cancer treatment.

IMPORTANCE Pubic hair grooming is a common practice that can lead to injury and morbidity.OBJECTIVE To identify demographic and behavioral risk factors associated with pubic hair grooming-related injuries to characterize individuals with high risk of injury and develop recommendations for safe grooming practices. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTSThis cross-sectional study conducted a national survey of noninstitutionalized US adults (aged 18-65 years). The web-based survey was conducted through a probability-based web panel designed to be representative of the US population.

No significant differences were seen in LNY during RARP and ORP for intermediate and high-risk men. For experienced surgeons, RARP can achieve equivalent LNY as ORP. A future study with a larger sample size is necessary to make a definitive statement of equivalence.
