Abstract
Abstract Introduction and Objectives: Allografts of dehydrated human amniotic membrane (dHAM) have cytokines and growth factors that have been shown to reduce the inflammatory response during tissue healing and promote nerve regeneration. This is the first reported study evaluating the early quality of life outcomes after placement of dHAM on the neurovascular bundle (NVB) during nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). We demonstrate our technique in this video. Methods: From March 2013 to July 2014, 58 preoperatively potent (Sexual Health Inventory for Men score >19) and continent patients underwent full nerve-sparing RARP, followed by intraoperative dHAM placement at our institution. In each patient, the dHAM was wrapped around the NVB following the RARP procedure. We performed propensity matching using our prospective database in matched nongrafted patients from the same time period. Pre-, peri-, and postoperative outcomes were analyzed between patient groups, including the time to r...
