Urethra and Ejaculation Preserving Robot-assisted Simple Prostatectomy: Near-infrared Fluorescence Imaging-guided Madigan Technique

ConclusionsWe described a novel NIFI-guided technique to perform US-RASP. This technique showed promising early functional results, suggesting a significant role of intraprostatic urethral integrity for the preservation of ejaculatory function.Patient summaryWe developed a novel robotic technique to perform simple prostatectomy with integral preservation of the prostatic urethra. This technique provided a high rate of ejaculatory function preservation.
