Object

patients who underwent open or robot-assisted SRP for locally relapsed PCa

Exclusion criteria

Open SRP was performed using the standard retropubic technique. Robot-assisted SRP was performed using the transperitoneal approach with the da Vinci Si HD Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). Extended lymph-node dissection was attempted in all cases. Preservation of the neurovascular bundles was attempted only with patients that were preoperatively potent, when it was oncologically feasible and in accordance with intraoperative findings. For neurovascular bundle preservation, dissection was always performed in an interfascial fashion.
