Abstract

We describe and video-illustrate the most frequently performed pelvic reconstructive techniques in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy aimed at lowering stress urinary incontinence. Many of the procedures report a benefit with respect to early continence, which seems to diminish with longer follow-up.
