Editorial comment. Long-term functional urinary out outcomes comparing single-vs double layer urethrovesical anastomosis: two year follow-up of a two-group parallel randomized controlled trial.

摘要

Over the past 9 years, robotic radical prostatectomy has become the most common treatment modality for localized prostate cancer. As surgeons continuously strive to improve outcomes, many open and laparoscopic techniques have been adapted to the robotic approach. Along these lines, many surgeons currently use various techniques to restore the posterior rhabdosphincter. These techniques are commonly referred to as "the Rocco repair or stitch." Proponents of this technique feel support to the posterior reconstructed urethral sphincteric complex and added functional length improve continence rates.
