Summary

To evaluate the impact of sustainable functional urethral reconstruction (SFUR) on early recovery of urinary continence (UC) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Conditions

• Prostatectomy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Small Urethral Bite Technique	The small urethral bite technique involves placing sutures (stitches) that are \~5-7 mm from the edge of the urethra. Each suture penetrates the full thickness of the urethra.
PROCEDURE	Large Urethral Bite Technique	The large urethral bite technique involves placing sutures (stitches) that are \~15-20 mm from the edge of the urethra. Each suture penetrates the full thickness of the urethra.
