INTRODUCTION: Laparoscopic transperitoneal radical prostatectomy (LRP) and endoscopic extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy (EERPE) are established techniques for the management of localized prostate cancer in numerous specialized urologic centers worldwide. RESULTS: The complication rates of LRP and EERPE are ranging between 2 and 17%. Rare but possible complications are vascular injuries, bowel injury, lymphocele formation, port-site hernia, anastomotic leakage, gas embolism and catheter obstruction and other rare events. CONCLUSION: Prevention and management of complications requires high surgical expertise and adequate standardization of the technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We herein review our experience with the endoscopic extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy in a series of 1,800 consecutive patients regarding the appearance of complications and their management.
