<unk>  <unk>  is a form of radical<unk> , an operation for prostate cancer. Contrasted with the original open form of the surgery, it does not make a large incision but instead uses fiber optics and miniaturization. The<unk>  and open forms of radical<unk>  physically remove the entire prostate and reconstruct the urethra directly to the bladder.<unk>  and open radical<unk>  differ in how they access the deep pelvis and generate operative views. In contrast to open radical<unk> , the<unk>  makes no use of retractors and does not require that the abdominal wall be parted and stretched for the duration of the operation. __TOC__
