Popis: Anterior and posterior reconstructions of pelvic structures are used during a robot-assisted radical prostatectomy to obtain better continence outcomes. This study was conducted to evaluate the Advanced Reconstruction of Vesicourethral Support (ARVUS), a novel postprostatectomy reconstruction technique. The study was designed as a prospective, controlled, partially randomized and blinded experiment. The statistical analysis was based on the generalized linear modeling (GLM) framework with random effects: the logit link was used to model the probability of achieving continence and the logarithmic link was used to evaluate the overall score of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF). The significance of the fixed effects and all possible two-way interactions was tested using the critical level of 0.05. The probability of achieving the continence significantly depends on the neurovascular bundle sparing (p
