Case description

Modified posterior reconstruction of the rhabdosphincter after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy is presented in this material. Posterior rhabdosphincter reconstruction following radical prostatectomy was designed to improve early urinary continence, because urinary incontinence is one of the major drawbacks of radical prostatectomy and in the majority of patients is due to sphincter malfunction or bladder dysfunction or both. This method allows for a much more rapid recovery of continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy compared to the standard technique. To be performed correctly, the structures involved in the reconstruction must be sutured together in two separate steps, so as to not tear the tissues or, on the other hand, to not leave surgical knots loose.
