Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy is safe for patients with prior transurethral prostate surgery.

Several studies have shown that patients with prior transurethral prostate surgery are associated with greater perioperative complications, as well as inferior oncological and functional outcomes when they undergo robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Objectives: To the best of our knowledge, there is no study thus far evaluating the association between prior transurethral prostate surgery and the above outcomes following Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP).
