Article Synopsis
- Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) is a surgery for prostate cancer that can be improved as doctors gain experience.
- At one hospital, three surgeons performed 300 LRP surgeries, and they noticed that as they did more surgeries, the time needed for each operation and recovery time got shorter.
- The study showed that even though complications can happen, they are rare, and experience helps make the surgery safer and more effective.

While open partial nephrectomy (OPN) remains the reference standard for the management of small renal masses, laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) continues to evolve. LPN is currently advocated to be at par with OPN oncologically.
