Extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (EP-LRP) is a safe and effective treatment for localized prostate cancer. This minimally invasive technique resulted in no complications and excellent oncological outcomes in 28 patients.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Prostate cancer (PCa) management requires effective surgical options.
  • Minimally invasive techniques aim to reduce surgical morbidity.
  • Radical prostatectomy is a standard treatment for localized PCa.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (EP-LRP).
  • To assess oncological and functional outcomes of EP-LRP.
  • To compare EP-LRP with open retropubic radical prostatectomy.

Main Methods:

  • A total of 28 patients with clinically localized prostate cancer underwent EP-LRP.
  • Data collected included operative duration, blood loss, and postoperative recovery.

  • Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and follow-up data were analyzed.

    • Main Results:

    • Mean operative duration was 309 minutes, with mean blood loss of 480 ml.
    • No open conversions or postoperative complications were reported.
    • All patients achieved PSA levels < 0.1 ng/ml at 3 months, with no biochemical failures at mean 10-month follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • EP-LRP is an effective, safe, and precise surgical technique for localized prostate cancer.
    • The extraperitoneal approach may reduce intra-abdominal complications compared to open surgery.
    • EP-LRP offers comparable oncological control with potential benefits in recovery.
