Abstract

Objective: Laparoscopic and robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomies are the current surgery modalities for surgical treatment of radical prostatectomy (RP). However, laparoscopic approach may improve our anatomic knowledge of man pelvis, which has not been proved or published in literature. Our aim was to investigate the effects of laparoscopic experience on surgical techniques for open RP.
