Keypoint

Patients with larger prostates and obese patients undergoing ORP are at risk of higher blood loss, operation time or non-nervesparing procedure. Conversely, in patients undergoing RARP only obesity is associated with increased operation time. Patients with larger prostates or increased BMI might benefit most from RARP compared to ORP.
