title: [Retropubic radical prostatectomy. II. Neuroanatomy of the pelvic plexus, impotence and urinary incontinence].
abstract: The present paper reviews the course of the nerves that comprise the pelvic plexus and intervene in the mechanisms of sexual strength and urinary continence. By means of cross-sectional and sagittal incisions in prostates obtained through necropsies the neurovascular bundle, intimately related to the prostatic gland, is studied. Based on the information obtained in the study we raise a series of suggestions all related with the surgical technique of radical retropubic prostatectomy.
