Robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) is now preferred for localized prostate cancer over open radical prostatectomy (ORP). RALRP offers reduced morbidity, with similar cancer control and improved functional recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Radical prostatectomy is a primary treatment for prostate cancer.
  • Robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) adoption has increased significantly.
  • Comparative studies between open radical prostatectomy (ORP) and RALRP are predominantly retrospective.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To clarify the role and advancements of RALRP in prostate cancer treatment.
  • To compare oncological outcomes, urinary and sexual function, and complications between ORP and RALRP.
  • To describe the evolving techniques in RALRP.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of studies comparing ORP and RALRP.
  • Inclusion of studies measuring cancer control, functional outcomes, and complications.

  • Nonsystematic review to detail RALRP technique advancements.

    • Main Results:

    • RALRP is the preferred procedure for localized prostate cancer.
    • RALRP demonstrates improved morbidity rates, including less blood loss and pain, compared to ORP.
    • Oncological outcomes are similar between ORP and RALRP, with advancements in nerve sparing and bladder neck reconstruction improving functional recovery.

    Conclusions:

    • Minimally invasive techniques, particularly RALRP, are expected to further reduce morbidity in prostatectomy.
    • The use of robotic assistance in surgery is expanding to other procedures and solid organ malignancies.
