Groups/Cohorts Assigned Interventions
Robotic prostatectomy
Patients who are eligible for a radical prostatectomy will have their surgery conducted with the aid of surgical robotics.
 Procedure: Laparoscopic
Patients with prostate cancer who are eligible for a radical prostatectomy will have their surgery conducted with the aid of surgical robots.

Detailed Description:
To establish a robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy programme at the University of Western Ontario/London Health Sciences Centre and to critically evaluate the role of this programme in the management of localized prostate cancer in surgical candidates Details of surgical procedure, operative outcome, patient outcome including quality of life will be collected.
