Although postoperative serum Neutrophil Gelatise-Associated Lipocalin levels were increased in both Retropubic Radical Prostatectomy and RALP, the 6-h NGAL levels were higher in Retropubic Radical Prostatectomy. RALP was associated with fewer intraoperative blood loss and fluid administration, and shorter length of hospital stay.
