265 Identifying surgical factors predicting postoperative potency in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy Using the PACE assessment method, different aspects of the following phases of the surgery were assessed, including bladder drop; preparation of the prostate; bladder neck dissection; dissection of the seminal vesicles; posterior anatomical plane development; NVB preservation; apical dissection; and during the urethrovesical anastomosis, needle entry, needle driving, tissue trauma, and urethrovesical approximation. The results of the PACE assessment are shown in Supplementary Data 2. No significant differences between groups in the PACE scores were found. The results of the general aspects of the PROTEST assessment method showed no significant differences between potent and impotent patients (Supplementary Data 3a). The results of the in-depth analysis of different phases of the surgery according to the PROTEST assessment method for the potent group (Supplementary Data 3b) showed no significant differences.
