Abstract

Radical prostatectomy, the surgical removal of the prostate gland, is a common treatment for localized prostate cancer. With advancements in surgical techniques, robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has emerged as an alternative to traditional open radical prostatectomy (ORP). This study aims to compare the outcomes, including perioperative and oncological results, of RARP and ORP. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 500 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer between 2015 and 2020. The cohort was divided
into two groups: those who underwent RARP (n=300) and those who underwent ORP (n=200). Data on patient demographics, perioperative outcomes (operative time, blood loss, and hospital stay), postoperative complications, and oncological outcomes (positive surgical margins, biochemical recurrence) were collected and analyzed.
