“…1 Williams et al explore the impact of volume on RP costs, and their findings are somewhat contrary to what I expected based on the previously described positive association of RP volume and perioperative outcomes. Begg et al was one of the first groups to specifically link open radical prostatectomy surgeon and hospital volume with short-term and long-term morbidity (reference 6 in article).…”

“…1 Despite these advantages, instituting policies that encourage referral to high volume surgeons has many obstacles and currently are driven by patient demand. While the savings are not impressive compared with the multiple billion dollars of costs for prostate cancer care annually, there are many reasons for patients to search for surgeons with more experience.…”

“…Patients with a higher preoperative IIEF are generally more motivated to achieve satisfactory erectile and sexual function after surgery [22]. Surgical technique and surgeons' experience also have a signi cant impact on the likelihood of ED after surgery [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. Signi cant advances in the preservation of the sexual function of patients have been seen after the introduction of BNSRRP by P. Walsh [31][32][33].…”

“…However there is an increased risk of positive surgical margins following the nerve-sparing techniques especially during the surgical learning curve [34]. Several studies reported significant positive association between the nerve-sparing techniques with the positive surgical margins, conversely some other studies reported no significant association [35414243]. Nerve-sparing techniques especially carry out a dissection plane of posterolateral dissection very close to the prostate and the tumor at the base, therefore the surgeon has to be careful for positive surgical margins (Fig.…”

“…The potency rates changes from 54% to 97.4% in different studies [21835364142476263]. These wide ranges of potency rates could be because of the inclusion criteria, the evaluation methods, different nerve-sparing techniques and approaches, the surgeons' experience and the follow-up periods.…”
