A novel anterior approach that involves Retzius space development between the umbilical ligaments is associated with a lower incidence of postoperative inguinal hernia in robotic radical prostatectomy
Background: To facilitate robotic radical prostatectomy (RP), we developed a novel anterior approach that utilizes a peritoneal incision between the umbilical ligaments to develop the Retzius space without contacting the internal inguinal rings, followed by closure of this space prior to prostatecto...
