Impact of laparoscopic experience on learning curves in robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RaRP): a comparative analysis of oncological and functional outcomes
Previous laparoscopic experience significantly contributes to shortening the learning curve for RaRP and enhancing early functional outcomes. This advantage is likely attributable to greater surgical anatomical knowledge. These findings highlight the importance of tailored training programs and the potential for skill transfer between laparoscopic and robotic approaches. Further studies are warranted to refine surgical education strategies and improve patient care outcomes.
