title: [Neurovascular sparing radical prostatectomy].
abstract: Radical prostatectomy means a surgical removal of the whole prostate gland with its capsule and seminal vesicles. The fact that this operation is not performed frequently is usually due to late diagnosis of this condition rather than to involvement indicated for radical prostatectomy. The paper describes a technique which helps to spare the sphincter and posterolateral nervous and vascular bundles, as these are responsible for continence and erectile potency. The experience acquired is based on good results obtained in 13 patients, and the author stresses the importance of early diagnosis of carcinoma of the prostate using preventive per rectum examinations in male patients over 45 years.
