At the forefront of surgical innovation, Dr. Qu Fajun (Changzheng Hospital) presented a refined interpretation of the Hood technique using a cutting-edge single-port robotic platform. Aiming to elevate prostate cancer surgery from minimally invasive to truly scarless, this technique emphasizes complete preservation of the ‘hood-like’ anatomical complex around the prostate. Suited for select low- to intermediate-risk patients, the approach minimizes trauma through high-precision dissection and nerve-sparing strategies, prioritizing preservation over reconstruction. Dr. Qu’s compelling surgical case underscored the technique’s potential to optimize cancer control, continence, and potency—anchored in deep anatomical mastery.
