Study Description
Brief Summary: Despite technological advances, incontinence and impotence remain significant side effects of radical prostatectomy (RP). Strategies have been developed to reduce the injury to the erection nerves (i.e. neurovascular bundle - NVB)during surgery to further improve functional outcomes after RP. Adipose tissue is known for its stabilizing and even healing potential. These features include reducing the inflammatory process and improving blood supply to an injured nerve. We hypothesized that covering the NVB with periprostatic fat during surgery may potentially improve neural recovery and enhance functional recovery after RP. We sought to examine our hypothesis in a randomized controlled trial.
