Is that equivalent to "robot simple prostatectomy"?

No, please the information above.
Robotic simple prostatectomy and robotrobot laparoscopic suprapubic prostatectomy are not the same operation.
Robotic simple prostatectomy is a minimally invasive procedure performed through the abdomen, typically for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Robotrobot laparoscopic suprapubic prostatectomy involves a similar approach but may be used in specific cases, such as when the prostate is enlarged or when other procedures are not suitable.
Both procedures utilize robotic technology to enhance precision and minimize complications, but they differ in the specific conditions they address and the surgical approach used.
In summary, while both procedures utilize robotic technology, they serve different clinical purposes and involve different surgical techniques.
