Discover the Art and Science Behind Nerve Sparing Prostate Surgery

Robotic prostatectomy has advanced dramatically over the past two decades, yet few understand the remarkable complexity involved in preserving a patient’s quality of life after surgery. In his latest YouTube masterclass, Dr. Ash Tewari, System Chair of Urology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, shares his groundbreaking approach to nerve sparing prostate surgery, shedding light on the anatomy, surgical techniques, and innovations that make it possible.

Central to Dr. Tewari’s technique is the concept of the “neural hammock,” a refined anatomical model that reimagines how the delicate neurovascular bundles surrounding the prostate are understood and protected. This hammock like structure supports the intricate web of nerves responsible for continence and sexual function, which can be easily damaged during prostate cancer surgery if not meticulously preserved.

Through clear explanations, anatomical models, and surgical footage, Dr. Tewari demonstrates how precision and deep anatomical knowledge translate into better functional outcomes for patients. The video emphasizes not just the removal of cancer, but the art of preserving what matters most to patients after surgery: bladder control and sexual health.

For urologists and surgeons in training, this masterclass provides valuable insights that go beyond the basics of robotic assisted prostatectomy. For patients and families, it offers hope and understanding of how far surgical techniques have evolved to balance oncologic safety with quality of life.

We invite you to watch Dr. Tewari’s full masterclass below and explore the future of prostate cancer surgery. This video is part of an ongoing effort to educate, inspire, and push the boundaries of what is possible in urologic oncology.
