Laparoscopic Versus Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: Comparison of Outcomes of A Single Surgeon
1. Abstract
1.1. Objective: To compare the functional and oncological results of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) and RALP performed by a single surgeon.
1.2. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent LRP and RALP performed by a single surgeon between June 2017 and April 2020 and were followed-up for 12 months. The Da Vinci ® robotic system was used for all surgeries. The potency, continence, surgical margins, postoperative prostate specific antigen (PSA) level, and surgical complications were compared.
