| Article/Chapter Title: | Laparoscopic prostatectomy for the treatment of localized prostate cancer |
| Abstract: | The first laparoscopic radical prostatectomy was performed by Schuessler et al in 1992.1 It took 6 more years for this technique to become standardized, and reproducible, owing to the strong commitment of several French teams. This approach is now used worldwide by many urologic teams, and thousands of patients have been operated on laparoscopically for treatment of localized prostate cancer. This chapter summarizes the outcomes data on the application of laparoscopic prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer. © 2005 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. |
