    Summary

    Preventive ligation of prostatic arteries and spermatic cords before retropubic prostatectomy controls bleeding and prevents complications. This technique simplifies the prostatectomy procedure for prostatic hypertrophy.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Anatomy

    Context:

    • Retropubic prostatectomy is a common procedure for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
    • Significant bleeding from the bladder neck and prostatic bed can complicate the surgery.
    • Retrograde epididymitis is a potential post-operative complication.

    Purpose:

    • To describe a preventive surgical technique to mitigate bleeding during retropubic prostatectomy.
    • To detail the method of suture-ligation of bilateral prostatic arteries and spermatic cords.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of this approach in simplifying the procedure and preventing complications.

    Summary:

    • The described technique involves preemptive suture-ligation of the bilateral prostatic arteries within the vesicoprostatic pedicle before prostatectomy.
    • This ligation effectively controls massive bleeding from the bladder neck and prostatic bed.
    • Simultaneously, ligation of the bilateral spermatic cords prevents retrograde epididymitis.

    Impact:

    • This surgical modification simplifies the retropubic prostatectomy procedure.
    • It enhances surgical safety by reducing intraoperative hemorrhage.
    • The technique contributes to improved patient outcomes by preventing specific post-operative complications.
