Menon M, Tewari A, Peabody JO, Shrivastava A, Kaul SJ, Bhandari A, Hemal AK. Vattikuti Institute Prostatectomy, a Technique of Robotic Radical Prostatectomy for Management of Localized Carcinoma of the Prostate: Experience of Over 1100 Cases. Urol Clin N Am 31 (2004) 701–717. 

Advances in surgical techniques, technology, and surgeons' skills have allowed robot-assisted radical prostatectomy to be an option in the management of organ-confined prostate cancer. The goals of the VIP technique are to cure cancer, preserve urinary continence, preserve potency, and decrease morbidity, along with the benefits of a minimally invasive surgery and excellent cosmesis. VIP is nearly equal to traditional retro-pubic prostatectomy, with certain outstanding advantages.
