“…Recently, several techniques to improve the functional outcome of RARP have been reported, for example, regional pelvic cooling during prostatectomy, 25 dissection of neurovascular bundles without tension and any use of electrocautery, 26 and a novel approach passing through the pouch of Douglas and avoiding the Retzius structures. 27 The results of these methods, particularly urinary continence, are usually determined according to pad use, pad tests of urinary leakage, and satisfaction questionnaires regarding continence status.…”

“…2 In a recent study, Galfano and colleagues found that a surgical technique sparing the Reitzus structures yielded higher early continence rates. 3 It has also been implied that younger age, positive surgical margins and absence of preoperative urinary incontinence are clear predictors of better functional outcomes. 4 Finally, Sammon and colleagues concluded that the type of nerve-sparing performed and placement of a percutaneous suprapubic tube for bladder drainage postoperatively were independently predictive of never requiring a pad after RARP.…”

“…Conceptually, RS-RARP is a new paradigm in approach and those learning this technique will need to commit to it and may get worse before they get better. Indeed, Bocciardi had dramatic improvement in T2-PSM rates from his first 100 patients (22%) to the next 100 (10%), indicating a prolonged learning period [3]. Finally, whether the results can be replicated in high-risk disease also remains unanswered.…”

“…This rapid early return to continence was supported across multiple assessments: pad weight, time to continence, and the proportion of patients with no leakage at 1 month From the published results available, including this Level 1 evidence, there seems little doubt that 1 week after a RS-RARP men are more likely to be continent compared to standard RARP (Table 1) . [3][4][5]. However, this begs the question, is this an important outcome in a cancer operation?…”
