Summary

Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy offers advantages for treating localized prostate cancer. This minimally invasive approach is increasingly preferred for its technical benefits, especially in T3 stage cases.

Area of Science:

Oncology
Surgical Technology

Context:

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a significant oncological disease, ranking third globally in 2020.
In the Russian Federation, PCa is the second most frequent cancer in men, representing 14.9% of cases.
Radical prostatectomy (RP) remains a primary treatment for localized PCa, with robot-assisted surgery emerging as a leading method.

Purpose:

To review the application of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for T3 stage prostate cancer.
To highlight the evolution and benefits of robot-assisted surgery in prostate cancer treatment.

Summary:

Robot-assisted prostatectomy combines minimally invasive laparoscopy with enhanced surgeon ergonomics.
It simplifies the reconstruction of vesicourethral anastomosis, becoming a preferred approach.
The article focuses on the utility of this technique for advanced T3 prostate cancer.

Impact:

Robot-assisted surgery represents a technological advancement in prostate cancer treatment.
This minimally invasive approach offers improved outcomes and surgeon experience.
Widespread adoption since 2002 signifies its clinical importance and efficacy.

Keywords:
