AB15. Anatomy of prostate and surrounding tissue in the application of radical prostatectomy

Abstract: Surgical technology, especially da Vinci Surgical System, has reinforced people’s understanding of the structure and anatomy of organ under 3D imaging technology in clinical application. The anatomy of prostate and surrounding tissue has features of multiple-layers and great variation. So, application of 3D imaging in anatomy has new progress and positive clinical anticipated effect in radical prostatectomy, especially for complete dissection of tumor, urinary continence and protection of sexual function. Therefore, 3D imaging technology provides an innovative visual experience, and it will create a promising prospect in the preciseness of surgical operation as more experiences accumulated in the future.
