Vattikuti Institute prostatectomy, a technique of robotic radical prostatectomy for management of localized carcinoma of the prostate: experience of over 1100 cases

Mani Menon et al. Urol Clin North Am. 2004 Nov.

Abstract

Advances in surgical techniques, technology, and surgeons' skills have allowed robot-assisted radical prostatectomy to be an option in the management of organ-confined prostate cancer. The goals of the VIP technique are to cure cancer, preserve urinary continence, preserve potency, and decrease morbidity, along with the benefits of a minimally invasive surgery and excellent cosmesis. VIP is nearly equal to traditional retro-pubic prostatectomy, with certain outstanding advantages.
