The <scp>LaserSAFE</scp> technique for margin assessment during radical prostatectomy: a feasibility study
While a multicentre study based on NeuroSAFE as a comparison was not achievable, LaserSAFE proved to be a rapid and accurate alternative for intraoperative margin assessment. These findings support the design of a larger trial in which NS decisions are informed by LaserSAFE, with a view to broadening access to real-time margin assessment.
