ROBOTIC RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY IN THE COMMUNITY SETTING—THE LEARNING CURVE AND BEYOND: INITIAL 200 CASES

Abstract

Our initial experience with robotic radical prostatectomy is promising. The learning curve was approximately 20 to 25 cases. With a structured methodical approach we were able to implement robotics safely and effectively into our community practice with minimal patient morbidity, and good oncological and functional outcomes.
