Nerve-sparing during robotic radical prostatectomy: use of computer modeling and anatomic data to establish critical steps and maneuvers.
This paper is aimed at focusing on the nerve-sparing aspect of the robotic prostatectomy. It reviews the existing principles and presents the arguments based on robotic fresh cadaver dissections and from actual robotic prostatectomy cases.
