Laparoscopic versus robotic‐assisted radical prostatectomy: an <scp>A</scp>ustralian single‐surgeon series

Abstract

We conclude from our single-surgeon comparative series that the robotic approach results in a significantly shorter length of hospital stay and improved 12 months continence rates and demonstrated a trend towards better potency rates. Complications, positive surgical margin rates and the requirement for adjuvant therapy are all improved with the robotic approach but did not show statistically significant differences.
