With the reduction in morbidity, radical prostatectomy today is an ideal treatment for the cure of prostate cancer in a patient who is curable and who is going to live long enough to need to be cured.
Abstract
With the reduction in morbidity, radical prostatectomy today is an ideal treatment for the cure of prostate cancer in a patient who is curable and who is going to live long enough to need to be cured. Also the widespread application of radical prostatectomy has provided tissue and valuable pathological information that has galvanized research in the field.

Impotence after radical prostatectomy results from injury to the pelvic nerve plexus that provides autonomic innervation to the corpora cavernosa, and refinements in surgical technique, especially during ligation of the lateral pedicle and apical dissection, can prevent this complication.

The data provide strong evidence of a major prostate cancer susceptibility locus on chromosome 1, and an additional set of 25 North American and Swedish families with markers in this region resulted in significant evidence of linkage in the combined set of 91 families.

Men undergoing RRP for clinically localized prostate cancer showed a 16% actuarial rate of development of metastatic disease at 10 years, considerably better than conservative therapy and justifies RRP as the treatment of choice for men with clinically localized disease who are otherwise healthy and have a greater than 10-year life expectancy.

It is my opinion that any patient who is a candidates for radical prostatectomy is a candidate for intra-operative assessment of the extent of tumor and the location of the neurovascular bundles and based on this information, the surgeon can make an informed decision whether the neuroVascular bundles can be safely preserved or excised widely with the specimen.
