Abstract:
The technique associated with nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy has improved the likelihood of continence, especially, and certainly potency over previous techniques. With a decline in these complications, patients and physicians in increasing numbers are choosing this surgical method of elimination of the disease. Hence this review of complications of radical prostatectomy using a modified lymphadenectomy and the nerve-sparing prostatectomy (or cytoprostatectomy).
