Re: Edward Lambert, Emmanuel Chartier-Kastler, Christophe Vaessen, et al. Robot-assisted periprostatic artificial urinary sphincter implantation in men with neurogenic stress urinary incontinence: description of the surgical technique and comparison of long-term functional outcomes with the open approach

A total of 65 patients underwent pAUSi between 2000 and 2022, of whom 33 underwent open pAUSi (2000– 2011) and 32 underwent robot-assisted pAUSi (2011– 2022). According to the results, robot-assisted pAUSi was superior to the open approach in terms of median operative time, estimated blood loss, and median length of hospital stay (LOS), while the achievement of complete urinary continence was comparable between the groups. A trend for longer SRFS was observed in the robot-assisted pAUSi group.
