Object

Ten patients undergoing sRARP after failure of the prior definitive proton beam therapy for localized prostate cancer were included. The inclusion criteria were clinically organ-confined PCA disease after failure of PBT, and having followed-up at least 6 months after sRARP treatment.

Inclusion criteria

The exclusion criteria for the study were previous RT for PCA other than PBT, and previous pelvic surgery.

Exclusion criteria

Biochemical failure after PBT has been defined as a PSA value of 2.0 ng/mL greater than the absolute dir, according to the American Society for Therapeutic Radiation and Oncology criteria.

Robots remarks

All sRARP operations were carried out by a single surgeon using the six-port Da Vinci庐 surgical system with either SI or XI platforms. An initial posterior dissection of the semil vesicles and vas deferens was carried out with a trans-peritoneal approach.
