Advantages of the method
The advantages of the method in comparison with the open surgical approach (radical retropubic prostatovesiculectomy) are as follows: - small incision (reduced wound-induced pain)
- significantly less loss of blood
- earlier mobilisation
- earlier intake of food possible
- earlier removal of catheter (normally on the fifth day post-op)
- shorter hospital stay (6 ? 7 days on average)
- optimized conditions to preserve the neurovascular bundle (enhanced magnification)
