The Role of Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy in the Management of Prostate Cancer and Future Perspectives

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has emerged as a leading surgical approach for localized prostate cancer in many centers worldwide. Leveraging minimally invasive techniques and advanced visualization, RARP has demonstrated benefits in perioperative and functional outcomes, and at least comparable, if not better, oncologic control relative to open radical prostatectomy (ORP) and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP). This review summarizes the current evidence on the efficacy, safety, and functional outcomes associated with RARP and discusses its role in contemporary prostate cancer management.
