Abstract
In the past 10 years, there have been drastic changes in the surgical approach to treating locally advanced prostate cancer; laparoscopic and substantially robot-assisted radical prostatectomies (RP) have become a preferred alternative to an open-access procedure. However, to what extent is the swift spread of a cost-effective method, such as robot-assisted RP, justified? The given review demonstrates the results of recent large-scale trials dealing with robot-assisted PRE and comparing open-access retropubic and robot-assisted RP procedures.
