At present, radical prostatectomy is the standard of care for localized prostate cancer. Several mini-invasive urological procedures have been developed during the last years, such as the laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, which is nowadays an innovative technique for urologists. This procedure shows many benefits in terms of anatomic accuracy, reduction of hospitalization and transurethral catheterization, recovery of urinary continence and sexual potency. In this study we have described the laparoscopic radical prostatectomy technique which is carried out by urologists at the “Hôpital Henry Mondor” - Creteil, Paris, where the first author has worked for six months.
