To the Editor, Although postoperative pain associated with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is less than pain following the open technique, it remains a fundamental issue as it can be a significant source of discomfort for the patient and lengthen recovery times after surgery. The optimal management of pain after RARP is far from being fully elucidated and many factors have to be evaluated to choose the best analgesic approach. [...]
