What is laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP)?

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is a modern form of radical prostatectomy. Contrasted with older, open surgical forms of radical prostatectomy, laparoscopic radical prostatectomy does not require a large incision. Relying on modern technology, laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is a minimally invasive prostate cancer treatment and a departure from what historically required the application of relatively primitive surgical techniques. Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is not a new prostate cancer treatment. Rather, laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is a modern means of performing prostate cancer surgery, the oldest treatment for prostate cancer.
