Neurovascular Structure-adjacent Frozen-section Examination (NeuroSAFE) Increases Nerve-sparing Frequency and Reduces Positive Surgical Margins in Open and Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy: Experience After 11 069 Consecutive Patients
European Urology, 07/27/2012

Schlomm T et al. – Neurovascular structure–adjacent frozen–section examination (NeuroSAFE) enables real–time histologic monitoring of the oncologic safety of a nerve–sparing (NS) procedure.
