Robotic radical prostatectomy is a safe and reproducible procedure with optimal functional and oncological results, a shorter learning curve, greater comfort and vision for surgeons, and a complication rate similar to and even better than reported for open and laparoscopic surgery series. Complications decrease with the learning curve, but surgical team experience continues to be the key factor to achieve better results.

Introducción: La prostatectomía radical retropúbica (PRR) es el patrón oro para el tratamiento quirúrgico del cáncer de próstata organoconfinado. Se están desarrollando técnicas quirúrgicas menos invasivas, como prostatectomía radical laparoscópica (PRL) y la prostatectomía radical asistida por robot (PRAR). El objetivo del estudio es comparar los

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy requires a longer learning curve than robotic-assisted prostatectomy. Operative time in RALP procedures was comparable to RRP cases. RALP showed benefits in terms of continence and intraoperative bleeding.

With our technique we achieve an important surgical time reduction, improvements in safety and reduction of surgical complications.
