Next-Generation Nerve-Sparing Techniques in Robotic Radical Prostatectomy: A Contemporary Review.
Review in Current urology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purpose of reviewTo summarize the evolution and future of technologies and techniques that assist in providing good functional outcomes during nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. RECENT
findingsRecent data underscore the value of preoperative optimization, including structured weight loss and pharmacologic interventions such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, in facilitating safer and more precise nerve-sparing. Advances in imaging and surgical planning, including 3D modeling and augmented reality, have enhanced anatomic visualization and margin control. Intraoperative adjuncts such as frozen section analysis (NeuroSAFE), nerve mapping and fluorescence guidance are being evaluated to minimize neural injury. Next-generation robotic systems incorporating haptic feedback and intraoperative penile oxygen monitoring may provide real-time functional assessment. Early series suggest these technologies can improve early continence and potency recovery, though long-term validation is needed. The future of nerve-sparing prostatectomy lies in a precision-based, multimodal framework that integrates advanced imaging, intraoperative functional assessment, and patient-specific rehabilitation strategies. While robotic surgery has established a new benchmark for anatomic preservation hold promise for improving both oncologic and quality-of-life outcomes. Rigorous validation and standardized reporting will be critical to moving these innovations from investigational use into routine practice.
