Robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy following transurethral resection of the prostate: perioperative, oncologic and functional outcomes.

We observed increased need for bladder neck reconstruction, more vesicourethral anastomosis time, console time, catheter duration, hospital stay, major complication rate and less chance to successful NVB preservation in the patients who had previously undergone TURP, probably suggesting the suspicion that prior TURP does add to the complexity of RALP, although these did not reach statistical significance except for the need for bladder neck reconstruction, rectal injury, major complication rate and successful rate of NVB preservation.
