Both methods have advantages and disadvantages, but there is no significant difference in efficacy.
Specifically:
- Laparoscopic surgery is less invasive, has a faster recovery, and is now a common procedure for the treatment of limited prostate cancer, but is relatively difficult to perform technically, requires an experienced surgeon, and is more expensive than open surgery.
- Open surgery is relatively more invasive, has more intraoperative and postoperative complications, and patients recover slowly at a relatively low cost.
So, the specific choice of surgical method should be based on the patient’s condition, economic status, and local medical conditions.
