Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Radical prostatectomy (RP) has been a cornerstone treatment for localized prostate cancer since 1904.
  • Surgical techniques have advanced, improving oncological results and reducing functional side effects like incontinence and erectile dysfunction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the historical evolution of radical prostatectomy techniques.
  • To explore current technological innovations and their impact on RP.
  • To identify persistent challenges and future directions in prostate cancer surgery.

Main Methods:

  • This narrative review synthesizes information on the progression of RP techniques.
  • It examines advancements from open surgery to laparoscopic and robotic-assisted approaches.
  • Key developments in surgical modifications and perioperative management are discussed.

Main Results:

  • Modern RP techniques, including nerve-sparing and Retzius-sparing methods, reduce postoperative complications.
  • Technological innovations like augmented reality, AI, and PSMA PET imaging are enhancing surgical precision and margin assessment.
  • Despite progress, challenges remain, including learning curves, cost, and lack of standardized outcome measures.

Conclusions:

  • Radical prostatectomy continues to evolve, with technological integration promising further improvements in prostate cancer management.
  • Addressing challenges in training, access, and outcome standardization is crucial for future progress.
  • Continued innovation aims to refine surgical precision, improve patient safety, and optimize long-term treatment success.
