    The study compares outcomes of radical prostatectomies performed by Da Vinci expert (DVE) and non-expert (NDVE) surgeons using the Hugo RAS system.

  • 2

    No significant differences were found in positive surgical margin rates or complication rates between DVE and NDVE surgeons.

  • 3

    DVE surgeons had shorter operative times and performed more bilateral nerve-sparing surgeries compared to NDVE surgeons.

  • 4

    Estimated blood loss was higher in the NDVE group, while pathological findings indicated worse pT stages in the DVE group.

  • 5

    One-year biochemical recurrence rates were similar between both groups, indicating comparable oncological outcomes.
