Abstract

The number of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomies has increased tremendously in recent years. In many institutions robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy has become the standard of care. In the United States more than 85% of radical prostatectomies are performed by a robotic system (Leow et al., Eur Urol 70:837–845, 2016]. Advances of the console, the surgical arm cart as have made robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy have a standardized procedure all over the world (Su, Curr Opin Urol 20:130–135, 2010). Its advantages over conventional laparoscopy, such as seven degrees of freedom, dexterity enhancement, stereovision and tremor filtering result in a steeper learning curve for surgeons in comparison to conventional laparoscopy and for open surgeons allows easier adoption of minimal invasive techniques (Khatlani et al., Minerva Urol Nefrol 62:193–201, 2010)
