(UroToday.com) As part of the “Game-Changing Session 1” plenary presentation at the 2020 European Association of Urology (EAU) Virtual Annual Meeting, Dr. Jens-Uwe Stolzenburg presented his abstract entitled “Continence Following Robot-Assisted (R-LRPE) and Conventional Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy (LRPE) – Results of a Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter, Patient Blinded Study”. While robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy has supplanted open and laparoscopic prostatectomy, the data to support this change is generally lacking. The LAP-01 study is the first prospective,  randomized trial to compared robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy and conventional laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
