Team work and group effort! Glade to see how far SP has progressed to help patients recover. Congratulations to you Chris!
I remember visiting you at CC in December 2018 and watching you do two SP perineal prostatectomies. How quickly the time has passed. Congratulations on your huge milestone!

Multiport surgery is mostly thru the trans abdominal approach. SP approaches are mostly extra peritoneal. The concept of Regionalization of surgery to where the disease is. Outpatient>less pain>quicker recovery>less risk of incisional hernia
What is the biggest advantage in your opinion compared to multiport? Do patients actually recover faster?
