“…As a report by Hakam et al (page 427) from San Francisco, California and Baltimore, Maryland shows, though, the field still lags behind compared with other subspecialties, including within surgical disciplines. 9 Over the time period of 2010e2019, National Institutes of Health grants to urology departments decreased in total funding by 15.6%. Over half of the grants went to a principal investigator (PI) with a urologic oncology specialty; 21.6% of all grants had a female PI and they were more likely to be a PhD basic scientist than males (64% vs 38%).…”

I sometimes offer the opinion that robotic assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) for a straightforward surgical case offers no substantial benefit compared to the open operation in the hands of an experienced and skilled surgeon. The point is rather moot nowadays since experienced open radical prostatectomy surgeons are disappearing. However, almost everything which increases complexity of the proceduredpatient obesity, prior radiation, previous inguinal hernia surgery with mesh, a small volume prostate, to name a fewdenhances the advantages of the robotic approach. This also applies to prior prostate surgery such as transurethral resection (TURP). With open surgery, the thin anterior prostate is easily disrupted, the junction with the trigone may be difficult to distinguish, and the small volume may make prostate borders indistinct. Some of these issues apply with RALP but are less of a factor.In this issue of The Journal, Leyh-Bannurah et al (page 308) from Germany evaluated over 5,000 patients who underwent RALP and compared those without prior prostate surgery to a group who had previous TURP or laser enucleation (LE-P). 1 No difference in complications was observed and oncologic outcomes including margin status and biochemical recurrence rates were similar. Both continence and potency results, though, were statistically inferior in the TURP/LE-P patients.

“…While only 1% of National Institutes of Health grant funding of urologic research is awarded to male reconstruction and trauma, efforts in the reconstructive community, including the founding of the Society of Genitourinary Reconstructive Surgeons Multi-Institutional Trials Committee, seek to increase high-quality, and potentially fundable, research. 2 This manuscript offers a blueprint for others to follow in that endeavor. Just as we have seen remarkable advances in targeted therapies within urologic oncology, via the study of cellular signaling pathways and genetics, efforts to better understand the pathophysiology of benign conditions like stricture disease will allow for an expansion of our reconstructive armamentarium.…”
