The Australian laparoscopic non robotic radical prostatectomy experience – analysis of 2943 cases ( <scp>USANZ</scp> supplement)

Abstract

The Australian experience of Fellowship trained surgeons performing LRP demonstrates favourable peri-operative, oncological and functional outcomes in comparison to published data for open, laparoscopic and robotic assisted radical prostatectomy. In our Australian centres, LRP remains an acceptable minimally invasive surgical treatment for prostate cancer despite the increasing use of robotic assisted surgery.
