“…Nevertheless, we were able to confirm that centres with a high volume and thus a higher degree of experience also show significant higher numbers of nerve-sparing procedures despite a high rate of pT3a and pT3b tumours. Since the nerve-sparing procedure has been related to better results regarding postoperative urinary incontinence compared to the nonnerve sparing procedure, it seems likely that the nervesparing procedure should improve not only the postoperative erectile function but also the postoperative urinary continence [21].…”

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the number of radical prostatectomies per hospital per year is associated with stage distribution, surgical techniques or quality related outcome in Germany. Materials and Methods: A German Internet-based database was analyzed. Hospitals were categorized according to their yearly radical prostatectomy (RP) volume. Patient’s characteristics, RP techniques, and outcome-related parameters were compared between the different hospital volume categories. Results: A total of 6,447 patients were analyzed. The highest rate of organ-confined disease and the lowest rate of extracapsular invasion have been demonstrated in very low-volume centres (72.6%

One key aspect in treating any cancer is timely diagnosis and treatment. Obtaining the right diagnosis depends mainly on running the biopsy algorithm. Most studies show a significant increase in sensitivity and specificity in the targeted tissue sampling method compared to standard biopsy. The human factor can result in more medical errors. This can be solved by replacing the standard biopsy method with a more advanced one. The human factor is excluded from the biopsy sampling process using the semi-automatic robotic biopsy needle guidance. This paper presents a literature review development in robot assisted prostate biopsy. A literature review was performed using PubMed and Scopus databases. Papers reporting on experiments using semi-automatic robotic systems were included. Using the literature, we described the prerequisites for the development the software for semi-automatic targeted biopsy to increase the sensitivity and specificity of prostate cancer diagnosis.
