The influence of secondary resection using NeuroSAFE-technique on sexual function in unilateral nerve-sparing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomies.

The results of this study suggest that nerve-sparing attempts applying the NeuroSAFEtechnique should be generously performed since a unilateral complete secondary resection leading to a unilateral nerve-sparing RALP did not seem to have a negative influence on sexual function and did not seem to compromise oncological safety compared with primarily performed and successful unilateral nerve-sparing RALP.
