Summary

Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) offers safety, efficiency, and reproducibility comparable to open radical prostatectomy (RRP) for localized prostate cancer. Further randomized studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Open radical prostatectomy (RRP) is the standard treatment for localized prostate cancer.
  • Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is increasingly adopted by urologists globally.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the surgical technique of RARP.
  • To offer practical recommendations for RARP based on literature and experience.
  • To review RARP literature and compare outcomes with RRP.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of Medline database (1997-2008).
  • Keywords: 'robotic radical prostatectomy', 'robot-assisted radical prostatectomy', 'laparoscopic radical prostatectomy', 'robotic'.
  • Selection of 226 relevant original manuscripts on RARP.

Main Results:

  • Multiple RARP series are now mature.
  • RARP demonstrates safety, efficiency, and reproducibility.
  • Oncologic and functional outcomes of RARP are comparable to RRP.

Conclusions:

  • RARP is a safe and effective procedure for localized prostate cancer.
  • Outcomes of RARP appear comparable to open radical prostatectomy.
  • Further randomized trials are required to definitively compare RARP and RRP.
