This study details a radical retropubic prostatectomy technique focusing on sphincter preservation and precise neurovascular bundle dissection. The procedure aims for optimal cancer control and functional recovery, achieving high rates of continence and erectile function.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Oncologic Surgery

Background:

  • Radical retropubic prostatectomy is a standard treatment for localized prostate cancer.
  • Optimizing functional outcomes, such as continence and erectile function, alongside oncological control is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a standardized surgical procedure for radical retropubic prostatectomy.
  • To evaluate the oncological and functional outcomes of this specific surgical technique.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective series of 231 patients with localized prostate cancer underwent radical retropubic prostatectomy.
  • The technique emphasizes sphincter preservation, precise retrograde dissection of neurovascular bundles, and procedural standardization.
  • Nerve-sparing surgery was performed in 148 patients.

Main Results:

  • The rate of positive surgical margins for organ-confined cancer was 3.7%.
  • By 12 months post-surgery, 94% of patients achieved full urinary continence.
  • Erectile function recovery, defined as the ability to maintain an erection for satisfactory sexual intercourse without medication, was reported by 70.5% of patients.

Conclusions:

  • The described standardized radical retropubic prostatectomy technique achieves excellent oncological control.
  • The procedure demonstrates high rates of urinary continence and recovery of erectile function, supporting its efficacy for localized prostate cancer treatment.
