Registry and Database Lap Prostatectomy

Completed

Conditions studied: Prostate Cancer

In brief

Recently, many centers have begun offering laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) as a minimally invasive therapy for localized prostate cancer.1-6 LRP may offer the advantages of improved neurovascular bundle sparing, a more precise urethrovesical anastomosis, shorter hospitalization, and decreased convalescence. Our group at Methodist Urology, LLC has extensive experience in laparoscopy and in treating prostate cancer and are planning to offer LRP. We intend to maintain a registry and database to document the outcomes with LRP.
