Radical prostatectomy - open, laparoscopic or robot-assisted - is considered the first-line treatment for intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer, along with radiotherapy, if the expected survival is greater than 10 years. Radical prostatectomy is also considered in case of low-risk patients alongside active follow-up. Today, robot-assisted radical prostatectomy is the most common surgical treatment for localised prostate cancer. It is associated with shorter hospitalisation times and lower transfusion requirements compared to open surgery. Satisfactory long-term biochemical recurrence-free survival and tumour-specific survival can be achieved with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in the treatment of low-, intermediate- and highrisk prostate cancer. It has the advantage of rapid postoperative continence recovery and high potency recovery rates. The cost of the minimal invasive approach is higher compared to open radical prostatectomy, and the benefits of faster postoperative recovery should be further investigated to quantify cost-effectiveness.

The negative consequences of the therapies can be reduced without compromising the survival and the quality of life. Accordingly, transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is gaining ground internationally.

Neck dissections were performed in 19 cases. The use of TORS is helpful in oropharyngeal cases, where inaccessible structures can be reached minimally invasively, compared to other transoral approaches. This is important for young patients with human papillomavirus-associated tumors, which have a better prognosis and longer life expectancy. TORS also has advantages over the previously used approaches for cancer of unknown primary (CUP).
