    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study presents a modified suprapubic-retropubic prostatectomy, a surgical technique offering advantages in reduced dissection, improved hemostasis, and simplified closure. Patients experienced shorter hospital stays with minimal blood loss, mortality, and morbidity.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Open prostatectomy methods can involve extensive dissection and complex procedures.
    • Achieving adequate hemostasis and simplifying prostatic urethra closure are key surgical challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a modified suprapubic-retropubic prostatectomy technique.
    • To highlight the advantages of this modified approach over existing open methods.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified suprapubic-retropubic prostatectomy was performed.
    • The technique emphasizes minimal dissection and simultaneous access to the urethra, bladder neck, and bladder.

    Main Results:

    • The modified technique resulted in minimal anterior and lateral dissection.

  • Near-complete hemostasis was achieved, and corrective procedures were simplified.
  • Three-fourths of patients were discharged 8 days postoperatively.
  • Blood loss, mortality, and morbidity rates were extremely low.

    • Conclusions:

    • The modified suprapubic-retropubic prostatectomy offers significant advantages for open prostatectomy.
    • This technique simplifies surgical steps, enhances hemostasis, and leads to faster patient recovery.
