187 Predicting pathologic outcomes in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for high risk prostate cancer: A preoperative nomogram

Significant reduction in positive surgical margin rate after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy by application of the modified surgical margin recommendations of the 2009 International Society of Urological Pathology consensus

“…Predominant factors to ensure good postoperative functional outcomes are uni‐ or bilateral nerve‐sparing, as initially described in 1982 and preservation of urethral length at the prostatic apex ; however, nerve‐sparing is associated with an increased risk of PSMs and requires preoperative risk stratification . Despite favourable long‐term BCR‐ and cancer‐specific survival rates in patients with high‐risk PCa treated with RP , careful selection of these patients is necessary, as there is a higher assumed risk of PSMs and prognosis could potentially be worse.…”
