Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Although robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has become a standard treatment modality in patients with prostate cancer (PCa), RARP is a complicated and difficult surgical procedure due to the risk of serious surgery-related complications. This study aimed to evaluate the validation of a standardized training system for RARP in patients with PCa at a single institute.
