Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy.
BACKGROUND The use of radical prostatectomy for the treatment of prostate cancer has been increasing during the last decade partially due to the widespread adoption of the robotic-assisted laparoscopic technique. Although no prospective, randomized controlled trials have compared open radical prostatectomy (ORP) with robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP), numerous comparat...
متن کاملRobotic Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy
Technological advances have always influenced and changed the way we live our daily lives. Advances in one field are quickly assimilated into another as potential uses are expanded upon to fill a void or improve upon a previous method. Medical science is very adept at adapting technological advances to its own needs in promoting patient care. Recent advances in robotics and audio-visual interfa...
متن کاملRobotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy after aborted retropubic radical prostatectomy.
Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) has surged in popularity since US Food and Drug Administration approval in 2000. Advantages include improved visualization and increased instrument dexterity within the pelvis. Obesity and narrow pelves have been associated with increased difficulty during open retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP), but the robotic platform theoretically allow...
متن کاملRobotic-assisted radical prostatectomy: who is benefiting?
The first robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) was performed in 2001, and in less than 10 years it has been claimed that 80% of all radical prostatectomies are performed using this approach. How did this happen? There are, I believe, two reasons. First, there is only one commercially available robotic system, developed and manufactured by one company, Intuitive Surgical, w...
متن کاملCyberKnife Ablation of a Solitary Para-Aortic Lymph Node Metastasis After Robotic-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy
Introduction: Radical prostatectomy is an effective curative treatment option for organ-confined prostate cancer. There is a recent trend in offering curative treatment to patients with oligometastatic disease. More sensitive imaging modalities can identify oligometastatic disease that is not usually detected by conventional imaging techniques. Case presentation: We present a case in which a s...
