title: Laparoscopic radical robotic prostatectomy: a case study.
abstract: The management of prostate cancer includes observation, hormonal therapy, radical prostate surgery (open, laparoscopic, or laparoscopic robotic), external beam radiation, brachytherapy, or cryotherapy. Laparoscopic radical robotic prostatectomy is the newest technology in minimally invasive surgery. This is a case study of a patient who chose to undergo laparoscopic robotic prostatectomy for his prostate cancer.
