A progress report on a prospective randomised trial of open and robotic prostatectomy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Although the initial robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) series showed 12-mo potency rates ranging from 70% to 80%, the few available comparative studies did not permit any definitive conclusion about the superiority of this technique when compared with retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP) and lapa...
