Abstract:
The envelope is constantly being pushed to minimize the invasiveness of prostate cancer surgery without compromising oncologic or functional outcomes. Transperitoneal robot-assisted radical prostatectomy has certainly accomplished these goals. However, it is our intent to push the envelope even further, that is, to minimize the invasiveness of already minimally invasive surgery. To accomplish this lofty goal, we borrowed the transperineal approach from open surgery and fused it with the latest robotic technology to innovate an extraperitoneal robotic prostatectomy technique that is less invasive than the traditional robotic technique.

Steps in the Modeling Process
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...
Rate-Determining Steps
In a multistep reaction mechanism, one of the elementary steps progresses significantly slower than the others. This slowest step is called the rate-limiting step (or rate-determining step). A reaction cannot proceed faster than its slowest step, and hence, the rate-determining step limits the overall reaction rate.
The concept of rate-determining step can be understood from the analogy of a 4-lane freeway with a short-stretch of traffic-bottleneck caused due to...
