Using frozen fraction (neurosave) during surgery to determine if nerves should be removed?

[FiguringOut]

A high standing surgeon at a top German clinic informed me that during the DaVinci surgery they do a frozen fraction of nerves (neurosave If I'm not mistaken) and they quickly check them during the surgery to see if there are mets. Then they decide to remove the nerves or do a nerve sparing operation.

I might have made a mistake describing it, but how common is this practice and where can I learn more about it?

Has anyone heard about it?

Here's what I found on Neurosave-

Here is information on RALP:

No mention of freezing nerves and I suspect that freezing nerves would potentially result in damage...

So have you come up with a treatment plan yet or still analyzing??--delay in treatment could result in escape of CTC's.... I believe delaying treatment is doing a disservice to yourself... When I was diagnosed, I quickly got myself to Cleveland Clinic, a Center of Excellence for PCa, saw my MO, got started on tx based on STAMPEDE, educated myself, and had SBRT for oligometastatic disease...
