Recent studies have shown benefits in the minimally invasive approaches, laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) and, more recently, robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), with respect to complications like intraoperative bleeding, but still do not demonstrate conclusively advantages as oncological control. However the recovery of erectile function and urinary continence seems to recover better and earlier. It is believed that there are about 200-250 cases of learning curve to reach levels that the rates of complications and positive surgical margins become stable and similar to the open radical prostatectomy, and the high cost of robotic technology still has limited the generalization of this approach in many countries.
