Advances in methods and strategies for preservation of relevant anatomical structures in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy
Prostate cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the male urinary system,and robot-assis-ted radical prostatectomy(RARP)has emerged as a vital surgical approach to localized prostate cancer due to its technological advantages,including high-definition 3D visualization and precise manipulation capabilities.This ar-ticle focuses on the protective strategies for critical anatomical structures during RARP,such as the neurovascular bundle,dorsal vascular complex,bladder neck,urethra,and periurethral tissues,which are pivotal for enhancing postoperative functional recovery and improving patients'quality of life on the premise of ensuring effective tumor resection and control.Moreover,the article contemplates the future advancements in RARP,with the goal of in-creasing the precision of surgery and accelerating postoperative recovery efficiency.
