Obesity can make any surgical procedure more challenging and increase the risks of morbidity. The introduction of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) can help overcome some of these technical difficulties. RALP in obese patients is feasible procedure with acceptable perioperative outcomes and complications. RALP is an effective approach to prostatectomy in obese patients as perioperative and functional outcomes are almost identical across BMI. This supports the continued utilization of RALP in obese and overweight men

Abstract
Obesity can make any surgical procedure more challenging and increase the risks of morbidity. The introduction of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) can help overcome some of these technical difficulties. RALP in obese patients is feasible procedure with acceptable perioperative outcomes and complications. RALP is an effective approach to prostatectomy in obese patients as perioperative and functional outcomes are almost identical across BMI. This supports the continued utilization of RALP in obese and overweight men
