Early Continence and Erectile Function Recovery Following Transvesical Single-Port Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: Initial Single Institution Experience.

: Early recovery of urinary continence and sexual function remains a key focus following radical prostatectomy. The transvesical single-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (SP-TV-RARP) approach is a novel technique with very limited evidence that has been suggested to preserve the Retzius space and allow extraperitoneal access through the bladder. We aimed to evaluate early functional and oncologic outcomes following SP-TV-RARP at a single academic institution. : We retrospectively reviewed 21 patients who underwent SP-TV-RARP by a single surgeon between September 2024 and May 2025. Continence is defined as being pad-free, and return of erectile function is defined as having erections sufficient for penetration. Functional and oncologic outcomes were assessed using clinical follow-up documentation and analyzed with Kaplan-Meier analysis. : The median patient age was 65 years, and 52.4% had pT3 disease. Positive surgical margins were observed in 62% overall and 30% in men with organ-confined disease. No intraoperative or 30-day postoperative complications occurred. Approximately 43% of patients achieved continence within one day of urethral catheter removal, with 75% of patients being pad-free at 3 months. Median SHIM and AUA-SS scores did not significantly decline at 3 months compared to baseline. The median time to recovery of erectile function was 69 days, and 67% recovered at the last follow-up. Biochemical recurrence occurred in 2 patients (15.4%) within 6 months. : SP-TV-RARP appears safe and may facilitate early return of urinary continence and erectile function. Although inferior oncologic outcome is a potential concern during early adoption, functional outcomes were favorable. Further prospective evaluation is warranted to confirm long-term oncologic efficacy.
