    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Surgical Technique

    Background:

    • Radical retropubic prostatectomy is a standard treatment for prostate cancer.
    • Traditional techniques may present challenges in visualization and blood loss.
    • Optimization of surgical steps can improve outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a significant modification of the traditional radical retropubic prostatectomy.
    • To detail a logical and stepwise surgical sequence for this modified technique.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified radical retropubic prostatectomy technique is described.
    • The surgical sequence emphasizes early vascular and lymphatic ligation.
    • Focus on achieving a tension-free vesicoureteral anastomosis.

    Main Results:

    • The described technique provides excellent surgical visualization.
    • Early ligation of vascular and lymphatic channels is facilitated.
    • Reduced intraoperative blood loss was observed.
    • A tension-free vesicoureteral anastomosis is achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified radical retropubic prostatectomy offers significant advantages.
    • This technique enhances surgical precision and patient safety.
    • It represents a valuable advancement in prostate cancer surgery.
