removal of urethral catheter (UC) in patients undergoing robot‐assisted radical …

Background It is not clear whether the routine placement of a pelvic drain after robot-
assisted radical prostatectomy is a necessity. The aim of this study was to investigate this …

Objective To describe our surgical technique and early results for the single port (SP)
transvesical robotic radical prostatectomy using the da Vinci SP surgical system. Patients & …

Objective. The aim of the study is to analyze the impact of intra‐abdominal pressure (IAP) on
perioperative outcomes in robotic‐assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Methods. We …

Purpose Placement of a drain during robotic assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and
robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is standard practice for many urologists and …

Purpose The utility of a pelvic drain (PD) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP)
has been recently questioned. We investigated the impact of discontinuing PD placement …

Such studies demonstrate the safety of selective rather than routine drain use, but our drain
avoidance in nearly all of our 3421 prostatectomies with a < 0.1% urine leak rate suggests …

Introduction and objective Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (PLAR) seems to
improve functional outcomes, however there is not a consensus of a standard procedure …

Background/Aim: Pelvic drain (PD) placement is commonly performed after robot-assisted
radical prostatectomy (RARP), but the need for PD placement is unclear. This study aimed to …
