}Objective: Robotic prostatectomy has been recently added to the treatment armamentarium of localized prostate cancer. We reviewed published data on this modality with critical appraisal of outcomes and complications. Methods: A Medline® search was performed that encompassed all published articles on robotic prostatectomy. Select data on open radical retropubic (RRP) and laparoscopic (LP) prostatectomy from centers of excellence in the USA and Europe were included for objective comparison…

Initial experience of 30 RALPs in Taiwan confirms a learning curve of about 30 cases for basic technique of RALP with acceptable operation time, and excellent outcomes are achieved for early-stage prostate cancer (T1c, lower PSA, lower Gleason score) receiving RalP.

Although RALP showed a better short-term continence rate than LRP, LRP was analyzed as being the more costeffective procedure.
A Comparison of the Peri-Operative Data after Open Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy or Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy

Patients in the robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy group presented a significantly lower decrease in haemoglobin, haematocrit and total plasmatic protein and a significantly smaller need for help with hygiene and mobility and a shorter duration of bladder catheterization, hospitalization and ICU stay.
Surgical Clip-Related Complications after Radical Prostatectomy
- MedicineKorean journal of urology

Surgical clips are prone to migration and may cause, or significantly contribute to, bladder neck contracture or the formation of bladder stones after radical prostatectomy, and the migration of Hem-o-lok clips should be suspected when voiding difficulty occurs after RALP.

Overall the current operative, oncological and functional results of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy appear to approximate those of open radical retropubic prostateCTomy, which justifies the considerable interest of the urological community in laparoscopy.
