Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study describes how to perform a correct prostatic apex and membranous urethra in order to preserve all anatomical elements that are necessary to achieve a very fast urinary continence after open/laparoscopic/robotic radical prostatectomy, avoiding positive surgical margins at this level.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

    Detailed Description

    This study describes a simple technical variation, aimed at the sparing of the muscle systems and neurovascular bundles in order to achieve high rates of urinary continence in the early postoperative period ( the first two months after surgery) in prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomy.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. change in the proportion of patients with of urinary incontinence [The follow-up was at 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks after removal of the urethral catheter (one week after surgery), and, thereafter, once a month over the first year after surgery]

      Assessment of the proportion of patients with urinary incontinence after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. change in the proportion of patients with recovery of the erectile function [every month during the first year after surgery]

      assessment of the recovery of the erectile function after surgery

    2. number of patients with overall positive surgical margins [immediate postoperative period]

      postoperative assessment of positive surgical margins

    3. biochemical recurrence rate [until the completion of the study, with a mean follow-up of 72 months]
