Conclusion of the editorial comment: this paper allow us to consider a new opportunity to perform a catheterless RALP using a PST. This option can be performed easily and quickly and without significant long-term complications. Further studies are needed to confirm the potential advantage in terms of reducing catheter-related discomfort. In the meantime, the best clinical practice remains using a urethral catheter at the moment of vesico-urethral anastomosis, regardless of the surgical approach.

Abstract
Conclusion of the editorial comment: this paper allow us to consider a new opportunity to perform a catheterless RALP using a PST. This option can be performed easily and quickly and without significant long-term complications. Further studies are needed to confirm the potential advantage in terms of reducing catheter-related discomfort. In the meantime, the best clinical practice remains using a urethral catheter at the moment of vesico-urethral anastomosis, regardless of the surgical approach.File in questo prodotto:
