Optimizing radical prostatectomy for the early recovery of urinary continence

Optimizing continence outcomes without compromising oncologic results is a challenge for surgeons performing radical prostatectomy. Many individual technical maneuvers can improve early recovery of continence, but as yet there is no optimized composite technique. Here, the authors propose a ten-step approach to collating these surgical maneuvers into a unified technique that could provide the best possible recovery of urinary control without risking oncologic outcomes.
