Does Accessory Pudendal Artery Preservation Increase the Risk of Positive Surgical Margins in Robot‐Assisted Radical Prostatectomy?
This study demonstrated that accessory pudendal artery preservation does not adversely affect positive surgical margins and perioperative outcomes, thus supporting its routine preservation. Further studies are needed to assess long-term oncological outcomes and explore its role in postoperative functional recovery.
