Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) requires a balance between complete cancer excision and preservation of urinary continence and erectile function. Because the preservation of neurovascular bundles adjacent to the prostate surface contributes to postoperative functional recovery, intraoperative margin assessment and surgeon-guidance technologies may help refine resection and support individualized nerve-sparing decision-making. Neurovascular structure-adjacent frozen-section examination remains the most studied and clinically established method, with evidence supporting reduced positive surgical margins and broader nerve preservation, but its use is limited by cost, workflow complexity, and pathology infrastructure. Fluorescence confocal microscopy is promising but remains limited by short and apical margins; its improved accuracy for longer margins raises concerns about its reliability for routine intraoperative margin assessment. Other optical, spectroscopic, and prostate-specific membrane antigen-targeted molecular margin assessment techniques have demonstrated inconsistent diagnostic performance, with particularly low sensitivity for assessment approaches remain investigational, whereas intraoperative ultrasound, three-dimensional and augmented-reality models, fluorescence guidance, and image-enhancement systems should be viewed as surgical guidance tools rather than direct margin-assessment methods. Intraoperative technologies may improve surgical decision-making during RARP, but prospective multicenter studies with standardized oncological and functional endpoints are needed before broader adoption.
