Simple Summary
This nationwide study evaluates how radical prostatectomy in Switzerland has changed over time. Using data from a large national registry, we show that surgery is increasingly performed in higher-risk patients, with more frequent use of minimally invasive techniques and improved outcomes. These findings highlight how advances in diagnostics and surgical experience are reshaping prostate cancer care in real-world practice.
