This booklet is to help men whose cancer has not spread beyond the prostate understand more about minimal access surgery to remove the prostate (also known as robotic assisted radical prostatectomy and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy). It covers what it is, who it’s suitable for, what happens and the advantages and drawbacks of this type of treatment. It may help men decide if this might be the right treatment choice for them.
