Dear Authors,

Radical prostatectomy underwent dramatic technical changes and improvements during the last two decades. This started with better knowledge of the anatomy of the pelvic floor and thus better open surgical techniques to preserve the neurovascular structures around the prostate gland to improve the functional outcome (continence and erectile dysfunction).The next step was the introduction of laparoscopic techniques to minimize the access trauma, improve the suturing of the anastomosis, and reduce the blood loss. With the advent of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy this changed further, mainly by improving the dexterity of the surgeon, magnification of the view, 3D-HD-videotechnology and features like isocyanin-green-flueorescence. Now new robots are coming more and more into clinical practice together with improved imaging technology (fluorescence- or isotope-guided). This issue tries to give a comprehensive overview about such recent developments.
