Posterior Dissection
The first step of Dr. Hu’s robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is to dissect out the seminal vesicles and the vas deferens on both sides. Aggressive cancers can invade these structures which store and transmit ejaculate to the prostatic urethra. After dividing the vas deferens, which results in a functional vasectomy, Dr. Hu also opens Denonviller’s fascia and dissect the prostate off of the rectum posteriorly.
