Abstract: Purpose: To compare the perioperative, short-term and long-term postoperative results of radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP), laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) and robotic assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) in the most recent studies evaluable. Materials and Methods: Using PubMed we have undertaken a search based on references from major and recent articles with considerable sample sizes. Results: The operative blood loss and the risk of transfusion were lower in the laparoscopic and robotic-… Show more

“…In this meta-analysis, the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale quality assessment method of the observational studies [19], and the US Preventive Services Task Force grading system [20] were applied to evaluate the quality of include studies. Also, the demographic variables of LCA and PCA were extracted independently from included literatures (Table 1).…”

“…Recently there is a growing interest in postoperative functional outcomes of new robotic series. Nevertheless, in general, very few data concerning continence are available in studies comparing robotics to RRP, and conclusions on whether any particular technique is better in achieving continence are unfeasible [17]. Moreover, several studies have focused on the early recovery of continence after robotic radical prostatectomy, but only one has reported the postoperative continence rate on day 1 [18].…”

“…Excision of the prostate with seminal vesicles within appropriate margins and, if possible and clinically justified, protection of the neurovascular bundles is the principle of prostatectomy. The same indications apply to retropubic (RRP), laparoscopic (LRP), and robot-assisted radical prostatectomies (RARP), all of which can be categorized into one coherent “retropubic complex”, and radical perineal prostatectomy (RPP) as a distinct kind of procedure [3, 4, 8, 14]. The differences among these procedures reside in the access to the prostate, as all procedures result the same with no significant superiority [3, 8, 12, 1420].…”
