title: Radical prostatectomy: OSU and affiliated hospitals' experience 1985-1989.
abstract: A total of 528 patients have been treated with radical prostatectomy and node dissection during the last five years. Correlation of clinical and pathologic staging will be presented. Over 85 percent of these patients had Gleason scores of 6 or less. Patients who had nerve-sparing surgery had a potency rate of over 60 percent post surgery.
