Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is rapidly becoming the surgical procedure of choice for treating localized prostate cancer. Although a learning curve does exist, RALP can readily be adopted by surgeons with minimal training in laparoscopy. Monitoring short- and long-term patient outcomes is the key to the individual surgeon improving this procedure for his/her patients. Although both open radical prostatectomy (ORP) and RALP can provide excellent patient outcomes, recent trends indicate that demand for RALP will continue to increase, and it is in the interest of the open surgeon to adopt this technique and aim to continuously improve patient outcomes after RALP.
机器人辅助腹腔镜前列腺切除术（RALP）迅速成为治疗局限性前列腺癌的首选手术方法。虽然确实存在学习曲线，但经过微创手术培训的外科医生可以轻松采用 RALP。监测短期和长期患者预后是每位外科医生为其患者改进该手术的关键。尽管开放性根治性前列腺切除术（ORP）和 RALP 都可以提供出色的患者预后，但最近的趋势表明，RALP 的需求将继续增加，因此，开放手术医生有兴趣采用这种技术，并致力于不断提高 RALP 后的患者预后。
