title: Modified radical retropubic prostatectomy.
abstract: A significant modification of the traditional radical retropubic prostatectomy is presented. A logical stepwise surgical sequence is discussed in detail. The technique described provides excellent visualization, early ligation of vascular and lymphatic channels, decreased intraoperative blood loss, and a tension-free vesicoureteral anastomosis.
