Radical perineal prostatectomy (RPP) offers a minimally invasive option for prostate cancer, yielding good oncological results and acceptable quality of life outcomes. This approach provides comparable results to other surgical methods.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Radical perineal prostatectomy (RPP) is an alternative surgical approach for prostate cancer.
  • This study evaluates the single-surgeon experience with RPP, focusing on technical aspects, outcomes, and complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the oncological outcomes and complications of radical perineal prostatectomy (RPP).
  • To assess the quality of life impact, including urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction, following RPP.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study of 212 patients with clinically localized prostate cancer undergoing RPP by a single surgeon.
  • Data collected included intra-operative and post-operative complications, continence, potency, and oncological outcomes over a mean follow-up of 48 months.

Main Results:

Published on: January 3, 2020

  • 19% of patients experienced intra-operative complications.
  • Continence rate was 81%, potency rate was 27%, and PSA-free survival was 86%.
  • Mean hospital stay was 9 days, with catheterization for a mean of 9 days.

Conclusions:

  • RPP provides satisfactory oncological results and an acceptable quality of life.
  • RPP is a mini-invasive procedure with outcomes equivalent to alternative prostatectomy approaches.
