Hood Technique for Robotic Radical Prostatectomy—Preserving Periurethral Anatomical Structures in the Space of Retzius and Sparing the Pouch of Douglas, Enabling Early Return of Continence Without Compromising Surgical Margin Rates

The hood technique for robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy modifies an existing Retzius-sparing approach and enables early return of continence without compromising surgical margin rate. With an anterior approach, preferred by many surgeons, and a short learning curve, the technique is amenable to widespread adoption.
