Simple Modifications in Operating Room Processes to Reduce the Times and Costs Associated with Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy

Abstract

Using simple modifications, it is possible that RALRP efficiency can be improved by decreasing its associated times and costs. These modifications were implemented in an academic setting but may be used in any institution. These modifications represent an initial attempt to improve RALRP cost-competitiveness with other treatment modalities.
