Conclusions
Better continence results can be obtained with the six-focus VUA
compared to the four-focus technique. The number of anostomotic sutures
in VUA can affect functional results and may be a decisive factor for
surgeons who focus on functional results as well as oncological results.
Key words: prostate cancer, retropubic radical prostatectomy,
functional outcomes, vesicourethral anostomosis, incontinence.
