Abstract
Introduction:
The modern perineal approach to radical prostatectomy uses either nerve-sparing or extended radical modifications on each side. These modifications add optimal potency preservation and optimal cancer control to the benefits of a minimally invasive approach.
Technical Considerations:
Because of space constraints, this description emphasizes the anatomy and technique of the nerve-sparing and extended radical modifications.
Conclusions:
The modern perineal approach provides all the advantages of surgical removal of the cancerous prostate with the least morbidity.
