Re: Experience of one single surgeon with the first 500 robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy cases in mainland China

摘要

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) has maintained an essential role in the treatment of localized prostate cancer. The so-called “trifecta” including can- cer control, urinary continence, and sexual potency are three goals that surgeons need to pay close attention to. The study demonstrated that RALP for patients in Asia is safe and feasible, and the effects of RALP are at least comparable, and superior to those of open surgery or laparoscopic surgery in functional and oncologic outcomes.
