ABSTRACT = {The da Vinci single port (SP) robotic system (Intuitive 
Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) is a recently approved 
robotic platform designed with several modifications to 
the previously available multi-port robotic systems. This 
article describes the technique performed utilizing the SP 
robotic system for radical robotic-assisted laparoscopic 
prostatectomy (RALP) with or without bilateral pelvic 
lymph node dissection from a single institution. In 
this report we describe our step-by-step approach, 
technical modifications from the multi-port technique and initial results for performing single port roboticassisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (SP-RALP). We 
describe our initial experience and technique with the 
SP robotic system consisting of 23 consecutive patients 
who underwent SP-RALP between December 2018 
and May 2019. The median patient age was 62 years 
with approximately half of the patients undergoing 
pelvic lymphadenectomy. The median operative time 
was 236 minutes, median estimated blood loss was 50 
mL and median length of hospital stay was 1 day. No 
unplanned port placements occurred and no conversions 
to open surgery occurred. We demonstrate the safety and 
feasibility of performing a transperitoneal prostatectomy 
with either a posterior or anterior approach.},
