Abstract
We report a comparison of perioperative complications and pathologic outcomes in patients with locally radiorecurrent prostate cancer treated by open radical retropubic or robot-assisted prostatectomy. The results of our study demonstrate that both surgical approaches were feasible and safe without any significant perioperative complications (death, rectal injury) with comparable short-term outcomes.Entities:
