Robotic prostate cancer resection has a clearer field of view and compared with traditional surgery, and is now widely promoted, but compared with the advantages, the disadvantages are also obvious. Prostate cancer is a common malignant tumor in older men. With the continuous development of minimally invasive urological techniques, traditional open radical prostatectomy (ORP) has been gradually replaced by minimally invasive laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) and robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RALRP) due to the drawbacks of large surgical trauma and many complications. LRP and RALRP have been widely utilized due to the advantages of less trauma and quicker postoperative recovery, etc. RALRP has the features of fine intraoperative operation, shorter operation time and lower margin positive rate than LRP, which has been taken as the first choice of treatment in the Department of Urology of large hospitals at home and abroad. However, robotic surgery also has its drawbacks: the surgical robot is expensive, the cost is high, and the operator needs certain traditional surgical experience. Robotic surgery is now more and more widely carried out and has a bright future, but it also has strict indications for surgery and must be evaluated and operated by specialized doctors.
