This study reports the first two laparoscopic radical prostatectomies in Tunisia for localized prostate cancer. The minimally invasive technique demonstrated effectiveness with positive patient outcomes and undetectable PSA levels.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) represents a significant advancement in treating localized prostate cancer.
  • This report details the initial application of LRP in Tunisia, a developing region.

Observation:

  • Two patients, aged 57 and 66, with localized prostate cancer underwent LRP.
  • The procedures utilized an anterograde surgical technique, focusing on bladder-neck preservation and neurovascular bundle dissection.
  • Both surgeries were completed without conversion or blood transfusion, with uncomplicated postoperative courses.

Findings:

  • Pathological analysis confirmed negative surgical margins in both cases.
  • Postoperatively, both patients achieved urinary continence within three months.

  • One patient regained erectile function with phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, and both had undetectable prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels.

    • Implications:

    • Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is a viable and effective treatment for localized prostate cancer, even in resource-limited settings.
    • The successful implementation of LRP in Tunisia suggests broader applicability of this advanced surgical approach.
    • This case series supports the established efficacy and safety of LRP, highlighting its potential to improve patient outcomes globally.
