[Oncological and functional results of total prostatectomy: an objective open analysis versus laparoscopy]. / Résultats carcinologiques et fonctionnels de la prostatectomie totale: une analyse objective comparant chirurgie ouverte et chirurgie laparoscopique.

ABSTRACT

Based on a systematized literature analysis, laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is associated with less peroperative blood loss than open surgery. Operative time is shorter using an open approach. In terms of cancer control and functional results, no difference was found between both approaches.
