    Abstract

    Radical prostatectomy (RP) is the gold standard treatment for localised prostate cancer and its oncological effectiveness has been demonstrated so far. With no doubt though, RP has significant potential morbidity and the selection of patients who will likely benefit from surgery while minimising the side effects of incontinence and erectile dysfunction is fundamental. Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy allows us to achieve oncological control, early continence and preservation of erectile function all in one. Thus, analysing its role is of utmost importance.
