Abstract
The authors present 4 initial cases of robotic radical perineal prostatectomy (RPP), a feat for which they must be commended. 1 Kaouk J.H. Akca O. Zargar H. et al. Descriptive technique and initial results for robotic radical perineal prostatectomy. Urology. 2016; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.urology.2016.02.063 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (35) Google Scholar These experienced surgeons started with animal models and then moved to patients who, in most cases, had relative contraindications to a retropubic approach. In an era where RPP has essentially vanished from clinical practice, these authors have demonstrated its feasibility with the use of a readily available robotic platform. The real question is no longer whether robotic RPP is feasible, but whether if it is indicated. And if so, when?
