This prospective, non-randomized cohort study included consecutive patients undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) between January 2024 and January 2026 following ethics committee approval. Patients with clinically localized prostate cancer eligible for bilateral nerve-sparing surgery were enrolled. Two surgical techniques-anterior-posterior reconstruction (APR) and the HOOD technique-were compared. All procedures were performed by a single high-volume surgeon at a tertiary referral center. The primary endpoint was early urinary continence recovery, assessed at catheter removal and at 3, 6, and 12 weeks postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included postoperative complications, positive surgical margin rates, and early oncological outcomes.

| Prostatectomy with HOOD techinque | Procedure | Prostatectomy with the HOOD (Hood technique) is a nerve-sparing approach in which the anterior periprostatic structures, including the detrusor apron and puboprostatic ligaments, are preserved to maintain anterior urethral support and neurovascular integrity, with the aim of improving early urinary continence and functional recovery after radical prostatectomy. |
