Radical Prostatectomy in the Treatment of Prostate Cancer

To describe diagnostic principles, indications, operative techniques and results of 133 cases of radical prostatectomy for cancer. At the Departments of Urology at Osijek University Hospital and Sisters of Mercy University Hospital Croatia, Urologic Clinic High Medical School, Rssen, and in Huyssens Foundation Evangelical Hospital, Department of Urology, Pediatric Urology and Onkologic Urology, Essen, Germany, 133 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for cancer were followed up during 6 months afer operation. The indication for operation included a localized disease. Retropubic prostatectomy with extraperitoneal lymphadenectomy was the generally accepted technique. Our experience corresponds to the results of other autors. There was no postoperative mortality. Vesicourethral stenosis (14,2%) was the most frequent complication, which was higher than the publisched results. Although not yet accepted as a routine operation, retropubic prostatectomy, when correctly performed, yields good results in localized prostate cancer, with practically no mortality and with an acceptable percentage of complications.
