Endoscopic Extraperitoneal Radical Prostatectomy

  • 594 Accesses

Abstract

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRPE) is one of the most technically demanding procedures in urology. However, the development and the standardisation of this technique have reached the point where many institutions no longer offer their patients the choice of open radical prostatectomy [1–6]. Thus one of the main focuses today is to evolve and ameliorate training facilities and establish teaching schemes for laparoscopic procedures in general and especially for this very complex operation.
