Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To present the results of the first series of patients treated with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with the use of the Versius® Surgical System (CMR Surgical Ltd., Cambridge, UK). RARP has demonstrated better perioperative outcomes compared to open RP. However, RARP remains limited by platform availability and cost-effectiveness issues. The increasing competition from new robotic surgical platforms may further drive utilisation of the robotic approach.
