[Radical prostatectomy for localized prostatic cancer].
A retrospective study of 70 patients who underwent a radical prostatectomy in 1989 and 1990 was done. The significance of CT-scan in preoperative lymph node assessment should be reconsidered. The correct examination of the resection margins is very important: the pathologist should clearly distinguish between capsular invasion and capsular penetration or transgression. The etiology of local failure and its treatment are discussed.
