    Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is the predominant surgical approach for localized prostate cancer, improving perioperative outcomes.

  • 2

    Retzius-sparing RARP (rsRARP) preserves critical anatomical structures, potentially enhancing early recovery of urinary continence.

  • 3

    Patients with prior TURP face surgical challenges due to altered anatomy, increasing risks of complications and impaired functional outcomes.

  • 4

    This study compares perioperative, functional, and oncological outcomes of rsRARP versus anterior RARP in patients with a history of TURP.

  • 5

    The primary endpoint of the study is postoperative urinary continence recovery, assessing the effectiveness of both surgical techniques.
