Analysis of Learning Curve in Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy Performed by a Surgeon.

This study aimed to report the learning curve in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) performed by one surgeon who is experienced in laparoscopic prostatectomies. The records of 145 RARP cases performed between 2015 and 2017 were evaluated retrospectively. Patients were divided into three groups: group 1 comprised the first 49 cases, group 2 comprised 50-88 cases, and the rest of the cases were assigned to group 3.
