Abstract

Robot assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is an established procedure and has certain technical advantages over open and laparoscopic procedure. In this chapter we evaluate the oncological and functional efficacy of the procedure in terms of risk of positive surgical margins, rate of biochemical recurrence free survival, continence and potency. We also compare the outcomes of (RARP) with those of open and laparoscopic surgery in order to critically evaluate its clinical efficacy.
