In the researchers' words
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.
