Retzius-sparring robotic prostatectomy

What Is Retzius-Sparing Robotic Prostatectomy?

Retzius-sparing robotic prostatectomy is a modern surgical technique used to treat localized prostate cancer. Unlike traditional robotic surgery, this approach avoids the Retzius space (the area behind the pubic bone), helping preserve key anatomical structures involved in urinary and sexual function.

Benefits of Retzius-Sparing Robotic Surgery

✅ Faster Return of Urinary Control By sparing the bladder neck and pelvic support structures, many patients experience quicker recovery of continence—sometimes within weeks.

✅ Better Sexual Function Outcomes Preservation of the neurovascular bundles increases the chance of maintaining erectile function, especially when combined with nerve-sparing techniques.

✅ Minimally Invasive, Faster Healing Performed with the da Vinci robotic system, this technique offers smaller incisions, less blood loss, and quicker recovery.

✅ Excellent Cancer Control Despite the more refined approach, cancer removal remains just as effective as traditional prostatectomy.
