Retropubic radical prostatectomy offers nerve-sparing options for localized prostate cancer. Achieving good functional results involves careful surgical techniques for the Santorini plexus and neurovascular bundle.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Retropubic radical prostatectomy is a primary treatment for localized prostate cancer.
  • Increasing diagnosis of organ-confined cancers enables more nerve-sparing procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the operative technique for retropubic radical prostatectomy.
  • To discuss indications, oncologic outcomes, and functional results (continence and potency).

Main Methods:

  • Detailed description of the retropubic radical prostatectomy surgical technique.
  • Emphasis on sphincter-preserving ligation of the Santorini plexus.
  • Focus on meticulous preparation of the neurovascular bundle.

Main Results:

  • The described technique aims for optimal functional outcomes.

  • Successful nerve-sparing procedures are increasingly feasible.

    • Conclusions:

    • Achieving excellent functional results in radical prostatectomy requires precise surgical steps.
    • The technique discussed is crucial for preserving urinary continence and erectile function post-surgery.
