Perioperative outcomes including complications of robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) surgery procedures performed at our institution were reviewed, with a total of 201 cases from December 2017 to March 2021 included in the analysis. There were five surgeons, with a median operative time of 240 minutes and console time of 179 minutes. Median blood loss amount was 68 mL and nerve sparing procedures were performed in 107 cases (53.2％). The median postoperative observation period was 1,315 days and a positive resection margin was noted in 47 (23.9％) patients. The overall 3-year PSA recurrence-free rate was 83.0％, while the rate of urinary abstinence (0-1 pads per day) at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery was 74.9％, 87.7％ and 93.2％, respectively. Although the positive margin rate was found to be slightly worse as compared to other reports, rates for PSA recurrence, urinary abstinence, and postoperative complications were similar.
