Urinary continence outcomes after posterior urethral suspension (PUS) and bladder neck sparing (BNS) during robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). Results from a case control study.

Technical variations of RALP have been proposed by different authors to improve urinary continence with conflicting results, due to the persistence of multiple adjunctive factors such as bladder neck sparing and the patient or disease characteristics. The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of posterior urethral suspension and bladder neck sparing on a cohort of consecutive patients who underwent RALP for clinically localized prostate cancer
