Abstract:
On the samples of 26 prostatectomies, the method of excision of the prostate gland according to Kim was tested. This method increased the number of blocks by 30.2% and increased the detectability of extraprostatic extension by 41.7% and positive surgical margin by 40.0% compared to the method of alternate prostate sections. Also, the method according to Kim reduced the number of blocks of prostate tissue by 34.3% compared to the method of complete prostate excision.
