Unilateral nerve-sparing perineal prostatectomy shows promising short-term erectile function recovery in prostate cancer patients. Further consideration of sural nerve interposition may enhance outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Radical perineal prostatectomy is a treatment for localized prostate cancer.
  • Preservation of neurovascular bundles is crucial for post-operative erectile function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the short-term outcomes of unilateral nerve-sparing radical perineal prostatectomy.
  • To assess the feasibility and efficacy of this nerve-sparing approach in preserving erectile function.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 30 patients with unilateral prostate cancer.
  • Patients underwent a unilateral nerve-sparing radical perineal prostatectomy.
  • Inclusion criteria included PSA <10 ng/ml, prostate volume <60 ml, Gleason score <7, and adequate preoperative erectile function.

Main Results:

  • The procedure was technically feasible in 29 out of 30 patients.
  • Post-operatively, 51% (15/29) of patients reported some erectile function without medication.
  • Positive surgical margins were observed in 5 patients (2/20 pT2, 3/10 pT3).

Conclusions:

  • Short-term results of unilateral nerve-sparing perineal prostatectomy are encouraging for erectile function preservation.
  • The neurovascular bundle is well-exposed during this procedure.
  • Interposition of a sural nerve graft should be considered to potentially improve functional outcomes.
