Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The advantage of minimally invasive surgery in the form of laproscopic radical prostatectomy compared with open retropubic radical prostatectomy is indisputable. But a long learning curve seems to be a clear disadvantage. Robotic surgery devices such as the da Vinci system could be very helpful here. The aim of this study was to demonstrate our own experience with da Vinci prostatectomy in consideration of the learning curve. Since implementation of the da Vinci system 23 months ago, we have done over 300 operating procedures with the system. Despite of having great know how in laparoscopic surgery the conversion rate was only 1.7%. The oncological outcome was satisfactory and comparable with the results reported in the literature. A complication rate of only 5.1% also seems acceptable. With the da Vinci system, we can combine the advantages of a minimally invasive procedure with those of open surgery but without the disadvantage of a long learning curve. At the moment, the expense factor remains a handicap. © 2008 Springer Medizin Verlag.
