Why the study?
Does robot-assisted radical prostatectomy improve surgical outcomes compared to laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy?
Does robot-assisted radical prostatectomy improve surgical outcomes compared to laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy?
Robotic assistance helps skilled open surgeons learn the technique of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy with comparable outcomes to standard laparoscopic approaches.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Comparable perioperative outcomes in this cohort; leaves open whether robotic assistance improves results in randomized trials.
Menon et al. (2002) studied this question.
