When comparing RARP vs. ORP, a small increase in perioperative morphine administration at RARP may be expected. However, when assessing pain perception, no differences were observed between the two groups. Moreover, mean maximum pain perceived was very low, which may reassure patients, who are counselled for radical prostatectomy.
