What is retzius sparing prostatectomy?
Robotic Retzius-sparing radical prostatectomy is a surgical technique which is used for the treatment of prosate cancer. It is a minimally invasive surgical technique.
The surgery involves use of a surgical robot to remove the prostate gland while sparing the Retzius space. This is a potential space between the bladder and prostate gland.
During the RRP procedure, several small incisions will be made in the abdomen. The surgeon will insert small surgical instruments and a camera attached to the robotic arms.
