International training in laparosocpic radical prostatectomy is known to improve operative outcomes and shorten the learning curve associated with the procedure. The following article reports the results of Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy as reported in conjunction with my colleague Dr Troy Gianduzzo at the John Flynn Hospital, Gold Coast. Our positive margin rate of 1.1% for disease confined to the prostate compares favourably to international radical prostatecotmy series. This article has been submitted to the British Journal of Urology International. Even though it is the British Journal, it is the official journal of the Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand.
