Practice Essentials ; Prostate cancer remains the most common newly diagnosed cancer among men in the United States. [1] Although the incidence and mortality rates associated with prostate cancer have shown an overall declining trend, widespread screening and early diagnosis make the management of clinically localized prostate cancer an ongoing challenge. After Walsh et al popularized the technique of anatomic nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy, open radical prostate surgery became a more desirable treatment for organ-confined prostate cancer. ...
