PERIOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS OF LAPAROSCOPIC RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY: THE MONTSOURIS 3-YEAR EXPERIENCE

Abstract

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy was performed according to the defined protocol with no complications in 82.9% of patients. The morbidity of this approach compares favorably with that of retropubic surgery. Growing experience and knowledge sharing concerning the prevention and early management of these complications would make possible a further decrease in the morbidity of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
