Thus, we will first give precise information on the anatomy of the prostate, the sphincter muscle, fascias
and the bundles in order to have a better understanding of the operative laparoscopic anatomy. The experts
will then go through each step of the surgery. For this, short well-selected video clips will be presented and
discussed e.g. the best way to perform the space for the extraperitoneal approach, how to spare the bladder
neck, to make easy dorsal vein complex control, the apical dissection and the anastomosis. Different aspects
(interfascial, intrafascial) of nerve-sparing surgery will be addressed. The participants will be aware of the
risk of complications or difficulties for each part of the procedure. The tricks for shortening the operative time
will also be discussed. Finally, complications and their management will be addressed and discussed on the
basis of real cases. At the end of the session, the participants, if they are beginners, should have a better
comprehension of each step of the technique. If they are experienced, the course should help to improve
their technique by picking out some important tricks.
