Group name

Athermal clip and peel

Groups definition

Series 2 used an athermal “clip and peel” posterior dissection technique whereby the initial plane was again developed along the posterior aspect of the prostate. In this series Weck hemoclips and sharp dissection alone were used for the initial dissection of the neurovascular bundles off the prostate without any use of cautery. The plane was then continued caudally using mostly blunt dissection peeling the neurovascular bundle away from the prostate.
