Augmented reality robot-assited radical prostatectomy: Robot assisted radical prostatectomy using the Da Vinci surgical robot system (XI model; Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, Calif) and a port device (Alexis; Applied Medical, Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif) system for prostate extraction. Virtual image of the prostate will be overlapped onto the endoscopic view of the Da Vinci surgical robot system using the TilePro system.

Mixed reality intraoperative frozen section analysis: Microsoft Hololens head-mounted display system will be used for inking prostate margins during intraoperative frozen section analysis

Study summary

Accurate preservation of neuro-vascular bundles is crucial in guaranteeing erectile function recovery after robot assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). However, the nerve sparing approach is associated with higher rates of positive surgical margins (PSM) at final pathology. Augmented reality (AR) RARP was previously associated with a 10-15% reduction in the rates of PSMs in two retrospective series. However, prospective studies are needed to demonstrate clinical utility and to validate these technologies. The hypotheses of this study are that: 1) AR RARP reduces the rates of PSMs, if compared to standard approach; 2) AR RARP can guarantee a more accurate preservation of neurovascular bundles and, in consequence, a greater recovery of erectile function; 3) the lower rates of PSMs will translate in greater oncological control of the disease.
