This study describes how to perform a correct prostatic apex and membranous urethra in order to preserve all anatomical elements that are necessary to achieve a very fast urinary continence after open/laparoscopic/robotic radical prostatectomy, avoiding positive surgical margins at this level.
This study describes a simple technical variation, aimed at the sparing of the muscle systems and neurovascular bundles in order to achieve high rates of urinary continence in the early postoperative period ( the first two months after surgery) in prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomy.
