Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 84 Laparoscopic radical prostectomy surgeries performed in the department. A through clinical examination was performed. A single surgeon performed all of the procedures. Symptoms and complications were recorded in all patients. Results: Pathology stage PT1 was seen in 3, PT2 in 45 and PT3 in 35. Positive margins PT2 was seen in 14, PT3 in 40 and overall in 30. Pathology gleason score <6 was seen in 40, 7 in 34 and >8 in 10. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Common complications were rectal injury in 2, ureter injury in 1, bladder neck contracture in 4, ileus in 3, deep vein thrombosis in 1, wound infection in 1, blood transfusion in 5 and incision hernia in 2. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Authors found that common complications were rectal injury, ureter injury, bladder neck contracture, ileus, deep vein thrombosis, wound infection, blood transfusion and incision hernia.
