The Impact of Experience on the Risk of Surgical Margins and Biochemical Recurrence after Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: A Learning Curve Study

Abstract

Specific techniques used by experienced surgeons which are associated with improved margin rates need further research. The impact of experience on cancer control after robotic prostatectomy differed from that in the prior literature on open and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, and should be investigated in larger multi-institutional studies.
