Published outcomes were the primary driver for me switching to Single Port robotics. Below are the outcomes that I have been able to achieve with the Single Port robot. In comparison with the data of the Multi-Port robot, I find men are continent significantly quicker, with excellent oncologic outcomes to cure prostate cancer.
The two techniques that are unique to the Single Port robot are Extraperitoneal (EP radical) and Transvesical (TV radical). These are listed on the left side of the table.
