Conference Presentation Abstracts
Introduction: Incontinence remains a side effect from robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RAP) for prostate cancer despite nerve sparing (NS) techniques. Use of growth factors and anti-inflammatory substances over neurovascular bundles is an emerging technique to enhance recovery of continence and potency. Viable cryopreserved umbilical tissue (vCUT) is FDA approved for homologous use in surgery. The objective is to determine if vCUT use in NS-RAP accelerates return to continence. Methods: Retrospective review of 176 patients who underwent NS-RAPs from October 2015 through July 2020 were identified through the Michigan Urological Surgery Improvement Collaborative (MUSIC). Return to social urinary continence (0-1 pads …
