In my opinion, the results with robotic surgery are not as consistently good as they are with open surgery by a surgeon who specializes in nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy. Robotic surgery is being aggressively marketed all over the country, and there are claims that robotic surgery is as good, but I do not believe that it is true.
