Figure 4. Right-sided intra-fascial nerve-sparing dissection performed with the neurovascular bundle clearly preserved in close proximity to the prostatic capsule. The dissection plane was developed within the prostatic fascia, demonstrating meticulous preservation of periprostatic tissue integrity. Source: NYU Langone Health.
