The surgical learning curve for salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: a prospective single-surgeon study.

CONCLUSIONS: Our data may suggest a decreasing trend in terms of OT and EBL through the sRARP learning curve. While morbidity remained stable through the time, radiographic anastomotic leaks trended towards a decline. A higher degree of NS was observed through the groups and there was a slight correlation trend between surgical expertise and potency recovery. PSM and GS 8-10 were predictors of BCF and non-radiation primary treatment predicted a better continence after sRARP. PMID: 33256361 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
