The radical prostatectomy has been modified over the years. With the introduction to the modern operating room of robots and other tools has come the latest modification: the laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP), first described almost 10 years ago. In the past 2 years, the technique of LRP has been made standard, reproducible, and efficient. The LRP virtually eliminates the physical and emotional toll of radical prostate surgery and reduces blood loss, hospital time, and cost. Published series demonstrate oncologic and functional results comparable with and perhaps better than what is seen with open radical prostatectomy. The LRP is a standard surgical technique in a growing number of medical centers, with world experience estimated at 500 cases. The LRP offers the urologic community a rare opportunity for tangibly improving care.
多年来，根治性前列腺切除术一直在不断改进。随着机器人及其他工具引入现代手术室，出现了最新的改进术式：腹腔镜根治性前列腺切除术（LRP），该术式于近10年前首次被描述。在过去两年中，LRP技术已实现标准化、可重复性及高效性。LRP几乎消除了根治性前列腺手术带来的身体和精神负担，并减少了失血、住院时间及费用。已发表的系列研究表明，其肿瘤学和功能学结果与开放性根治性前列腺切除术相当，甚至可能更好。在越来越多的医疗中心，LRP已成为一种标准的外科技术，据估计全球手术经验达500例。LRP为泌尿外科领域提供了一个切实改善医疗护理的难得机会。
