Figure 1. Sagittal pelvic view during (A) S-RARP and (B) PFS-RARP. Disruption of the dorsal vascular complex at both the bladder neck and the prostate apex during S-RARP (A) contributes to worsened functional outcomes, such as urinary incontinence and potency. The dorsal vascular complex is left intact during PFS-RARP (B). S-RARP: Standard robot-assisted radical prostatectomy; PFS-RARP: pelvic fascia-sparing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy.
