Retzius-Sparing Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy (RARP): Rationale, Selection & Technique – Summary:

Daniel C. Parker, MD, an assistant professor of urology at the University of Oklahoma, discusses the functional outcomes of the Retzius-sparing robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RARP) as compared to a traditional RARP. He goes on to describe the differences in postoperative continence and erectile disruption between the two approaches, how to select patients who may be candidates for a Retzius-sparing approach, as well as several randomized studies that describe any oncological and functional outcome differences between the two approaches.

The Prostate & Urologic Cancers Symposium is held through the University of Oklahoma and the Stephenson Cancer Center to provide new insights in the treatment of prostate and urologic cancers. This single-day program consists of lectures and case discussions highlighting a multidisciplinary approach to urologic cancer care and integration of new technology in the evaluation and treatment of patients with prostate and/or urologic cancers. Dr. Parker presented this lecture during the 5th iteration of this summit in 2019.
