Nerve-spring technique could achieve a functional trifecta outcome of robotic intracorporeal studer's orthotopic neobladder in the male.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To summarize some key steps of functional improvement in robotic intracorporeal studer's orthotopic neobladder (RISON) of males, especially for nerve-spring technique. We also presented the result of 1-year follow-up aimed to illustrate its functional trifecta outcomes.

Methods

Robotic radical cystectomy with intracorporeal studer's orthotopic neobladder was performed on 33 male patients by the same surgeon from April 2018 to March 2019. Nerve-sparing technique had been used in 11 of the 33 patients. A prospectively maintained dataset was retrospectively searched and the related perioperative and follow-up data were analyzed. The functional trifecta outcomes referred to the freedom from recurrence, urinary continence and sexual function recovery after one year.
