Endoscopic extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy: evolution of the technique and experience with 2400 cases.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: We report the outcome of 2400 endoscopic extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy (EERPE) cases performed in three institutions, with emphasis on the evolution of the EERPE technique. METHODS: In total, 2400 EERPE procedures were performed ... Read more...

Hypothermic robotic radical prostatectomy: impact on continence.

30 Aug 2009 INTRODUCTION: Radical prostatectomy undoubtedly causes inflammatory damage to surrounding neuromuscular tissues (i.e., bladder, urethra, and nerves) that may contribute to urinary incontinence. We report the use of local hypothermia during ... Read more...

Functional and oncologic outcomes comparing interfascial and intrafascial nerve sparing in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomies.

30 Aug 2009 INTRODUCTION: The impact of intrafascial versus interfascial nerve sparing during radical prostatectomy on oncologic and postoperative outcome is still controversial. This manuscript compares the outcomes of intrafascial versus interfascial ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Prostatectomy'

Definition: Complete or partial surgical removal of the prostate. Three primary approaches are commonly employed: suprapubic - removal through an incision above the pubis and through the urinary bladder; retropubic - as for suprapubic but without entering the urinary bladder; and transurethral (TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION OF PROSTATE).
