    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Retropubic prostatectomy is a common procedure for prostate cancer.
    • Traditional methods often involve postoperative catheterization, potentially causing discomfort.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the outcomes of retropubic prostatectomy using a non-catheter technique.
    • To evaluate the safety, complication rates, and patient comfort associated with this approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 247 retropubic prostatectomies performed under hypotensive anesthesia.
    • Implementation of a non-catheter technique whenever feasible.
    • Comparison of outcomes between consultant-led and registrar-led procedures.

    Main Results:

    • A favorable mortality rate of 2% was observed.

  • Postoperative catheter use was avoided in 67% of patients operated on by the lead consultant.
  • Over 50% of patients, including those operated on by trainees, did not require a catheter.

    • Conclusions:

    • The non-catheter technique in retropubic prostatectomy is safe and effective.
    • This approach enhances patient comfort and reduces complications.
    • Wider adoption of this technique is recommended for improved surgical outcomes.
