A pilot study to investigate the effect of topical microporous polysaccharide haemospheres on outcomes following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy

Controlling bleeding without disturbing the anatomy and function of the structures in the prostate bed remains a significant challenge during radical prostatectomy (RP). Five grams of powdered microporous polysaccharide haemospheres (MPH) was applied to the prostate bed at the end of robot-assisted...

Description
Summary:Controlling bleeding without disturbing the anatomy and function of the structures in the prostate bed remains a significant challenge during radical prostatectomy (RP). Five grams of powdered microporous polysaccharide haemospheres (MPH) was applied to the prostate bed at the end of robot-assisted RP in 422 consecutive patients. Continence was defined as no pads and potency as the ability to have penetrative sex with or without PDE5 inhibitors in previously potent, non-diabetic men aged
