Hi lauren0125!

I was only able to locate the total number of laparoscopic radical
prostatectomies that were performed from 2000-2002 for each of the
following countries: Japan, China and Korea.

Does this help?

Thanks,
Bobbie7

Hi Bobbie7! Thanks for responding so quickly to my question. The
number of laparoscopic prostatectomies is definitely helpful --
although I'm really looking for the number of open procedures. I'll
pay for the laparoscopic information and will be happy to tip for the
number of total radical prostatectomies if that information is
available.

Thanks!!

Dear Lauren,

I?d rather not post the number of laparoscopic radical prostatectomies
procedures performed in Japan, China and Korea here because when I
post my answer this question will close.

Please note that your question will not expire for a month and perhaps
another researcher may be able to locate the exact information you
need.

I would suggest that you wait a few days and then if you?re still
interested in my findings, you can post a new question asking for the
total number of laparoscopic radical prostatectomies procedures that
were performed in Japan, China and Korea from 2000-2000. Just put my
name in the subject line of the question and I?ll post my  answer.

Here?s an example

In any case I?ll keep on searching for the exact information you require.

Sincerely,
Bobbie7

I need to know the number of open radical prostatectomies performed
each year in Japan.
