Early Continence and Erectile Function Recovery Following Transvesical Single-Port Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: Initial Single Institution Experience.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Early recovery of urinary continence and sexual function remains a key focus following radical prostatectomy. The transvesical single-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (SP-TV-RARP) approach is a novel technique with very limited evidence that has been suggested to preserve the Retzius space and allow extraperitoneal access through the bladder. We aimed to evaluate early functional and oncologic outcomes following SP-TV-RARP at a single academic institution. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 21 patients who underwent SP-TV-RARP by a single surgeon between September 2024 and May 2025. Continence is defined as being pad-free, and return of erectile function is defined as having erections sufficient for penetration. Functional and oncologic outco
