What are the benefits of robotic radical prostatectomy versus traditional open radical prostate surgery?
With regards to the cancer cure rate, both procedures are equally successful; however, as a minimally invasive surgery, the robotic prostatectomy offers the benefits of less trauma and faster recovery. Also, the robotic technology and high definition vision enable the surgeon to perform a more precise procedure, which can potentially spare the surrounding nerves that control sexual and urinary functions.
