A review of surgical outcomes of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) procedures at Toyooka Hospital were reviewed, with 150 cases treated from July 2014 to December 2017 included in the analysis. There were six different primary surgeons. The median operative time was 202 minutes and median blood loss in the cases was 200 mL. Furthermore, the median postoperative observation period was 2,205 days and late complications included inguinal hernia in 32 cases (21.3％). A positive resection margin was noted in 45 (30％), while the overall three- and five-year PSA recurrence-free rates were 88.4％ and 86.1％, respectively. Although the rates for positive resection margin, postoperative hernia incidence, and urinary abstinence were somewhat higher than those presented in previous studies, PSA recurrence rates were similar to those previously reported.
