Abstract

According to the literature, after radical prostatectomy the patients had normal micturition and erectile function in 50 and 10-30%, respectively. A total of 647 patients with diagnosis prostatic cancer (PC) stage Tla-T4 were examined in two clinics in 1997-2003. Of them, 43 patients (PC stage Tla-ТЗа) have undergone retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP) by a modified nerve-preserving technique (preservation of the urinary bladder neck, puboprostatic joints in prostate size > 60 cm). Preoperative and postoperative examinations for urine continence and erectile function after RRP were made in 20 patients. The proposed operative technique of nerve-preserving RRP preserves urine continence and erectile function in many cases. This improves social adaptation of the patients and extends indications for operative treatment.
