Abstract
The management of anaesthesia in laparoscopic and endoscopic radical prostatectomy can be quite complex. Many surgeons, especially at the beginning of their learning curve, experience difficulties with the anaesthesiologic aspects of the procedure. These problems can be easily managed with proper standardised protocols. Even long operating times in difficult cases can be managed without cardiopulmonary limitations.
