Robotic laparoscopic assisted prostatectomy (RALP) has become the predominant technique for prostatectomy despite significant expense and no robust evidence supporting better cancer control, erectile function, or continence. Several studies have demonstrated lower bladder neck contracture (BNC) rates with RALP, believed to be related to improved visualization and control of the urethrovesical anastomosis. We evaluated the Capio™ radical prostatectomy (RP) suture capturing device for improving anastomotic precision during urethrovesical anastomosis in open radical prostatectomy.
