Estrategias para mejorar los resultados funcionales asociados a neuropreservación en prostatectomía radical laparoscópica asistida por robot
Background
Preservation of neurovascular bundles is one of the most important aspects regarding functional outcomes during radical prostatectomy. The use of robotic-assisted laparoscopy has helped to improve preservation. Other strategies to improve nerve sparing have recently been used, including the use of intraoperative nerve monitoring, intrafascial and interfascial dissection, and the use of patches to accelerate nerve function recovery.
The aim of our report was to show new strategies for nerve sparing in robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP), exemplified by a clinical case.
Clinical case
A 42-year-old African-American man with intermediate-risk prostate cancer and good preoperative erectile function underwent RALRP, with an emphasis on careful nerve sparing.
Conclusions
Functional results are greatly relevant when performing RALRP, given that they are expected to be better with this technology. Despite the magnified vision achieved during robotic-assisted surgery, nerve fibers of the neurovascular bundles can be missed. Therefore, adhering to careful intrafascial dissection is essential, aided by the use of nerve monitoring and amniotic membrane patches, for improving outcome with respect to continence and erectile function in these patients.
期刊介绍:
Revista Mexicana de Urología (RMU) [Mexican Journal of Urology] (ISSN: 0185-4542 / ISSN electronic: 2007-4085) is bimonthly publication that disseminates research by academicians and professionals of the international medical community interested in urological subjects, in the format of original articles, clinical cases, review articles brief communications and letters to the editor. Owing to its nature, it is publication with international scope that disseminates contributions in Spanish and English that are rigorously reviewed by peers under the double blind modality. Neither journalistic documents nor those that lack rigorous medical or scientific support are suitable for publication.
