The DaVinci Robot (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale California) with its magnified 3-D vision and multi-jointed wristed instruments enabled us to perform radical prostatectomy with consideration for the pelvic anatomy. In the present paper, we review the pelvic autonomic neuroanatomy with respect to robotic prostatectomy and demonstrate the procedures and critical points of nerve-sparing robotic radical prostatectomy based on novel anatomic concepts. Microscopic and macroscopic data were acquired from 30 fresh and 25 fixed male cadavers. A video study of 205 surgeries was performed for establishing the anatomy relevant to robotic prostatectomy. From a practical standpoint, we could group the relevant neural tissue into three broad zones: (1) proximal neurovascular plate (PNP), (2) predominant neurovascular bundles (PNB), (3) accessory distal neural pathways (ANP). Autonomic ganglion cells existed widely not only in nerve components but also along the viscera. The critical areas of nerve sparing surgery were the distal end of PNP, the entire PNB, and the circumference of the apex. Interindividual differences of cell counts were evident in all sites. Based on these concepts, we established the Athermal Robotic Technique (ART) for nerve sparing prostatectomy. Surgical and oncological outcomes were not mature but feasible. These tri-zonal and ganglion cell concepts may be of benefit to new surgeons undertaking nerve-sparing robotic radical prostatectomy.
