Real-world, prospective data corroborate trial results showing functional declines after prostate cancer surgery, despite progress in nerve-sparing techniques. Active surveillance best preserves ...

A nerve-sparing technique (NeuroSAFE) reduced erectile dysfunction in men undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer. A year after surgery, patients randomized to ...

The NeuroSAFE technique significantly improves erectile function outcomes post-prostatectomy, nearly doubling the number of patients with no or mild erectile dysfunction. Intraoperative tissue ...

However, during standard surgery it can be difficult to determine whether retaining these outer layers risks leaving some cancerous cells behind. In many cases, especially where the tumour is most ...

The nerve-illuminating agent rizedisben achieved sustained fluorescence during laparoscopic prostatectomy All nine patients receiving a dose of 3 mg/kg showed obturator nerve fluorescence, as well as ...

Wrapping dehydrated human amniotic membrane around nerve and anastomotic tissue during robotic prostatectomy was associated with faster recovery of erectile function, a 10-year, single-center study ...

The most common surgery for prostate cancer is a radical prostatectomy. This surgery involves taking out the entire prostate gland, some lymph nodes and other nearby tissue, like the seminal vesicles ...

Use of NeuroSAFE to guide nerve sparing during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy improved patient-reported erectile function. Researchers have found that the use of the NeuroSAFE technique to guide ...
