Abstract
Robotic assisted radical prostatectomy is an emerging technique for the management of prostate carcinoma. The surgery requires steep trendelenburg position for a prolonged time and associated with wide range of physiological changes. Aim of this case report is to brief on thorough considerations of the risks, pre-operative preparation, intra-operative monitoring and post-operative follow-up which are necessary for the successful outcome of the robotic assisted surgeries.
