Aim of our study was to evaluate the risk factors for high-grade complications (Clavien Classification System ≥3a) in patients treated with with robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Between 2012 and 2017, a consecutive series of patients with prostate cancer were treated with robotic radical prostatectomy (RRP). Demographic, clinical and histological characteristics of the patients were recorded. Histological specimens were graded according to the new PGG classification. Complications were classified according to the modified Clavien classification system (CCS).

The aim of this prospective randomized study is tocompare the perioperative and functional results between laparo-scopic and robot-assisted simple prostatectomy sec. Millin (LSP andRASP) and Holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP) in prostatevolumes≥120 ml. The primary endpoint will be to investigatewhether the prostate gland volume may influence perioperative andfunctional outcomes, and the secondary endpoint will evaluate thefrequency and type of postoperative complications according toClavien Dindo classification

This large multicenter experience suggests that robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for clinical T2 renal masses is feasible, it offers good surgical outcomes, and it allows preservation of renal function. Overall, the outcomes of a robotic approach compare favorably with those reported for open nephron-sparing surgery for this challenging indication.
