title: [Indications and results of radical prostatectomy].
abstract: Radical prostatectomy is the surgical curative treatment of localized prostate cancer. The survival is good in young patients (< 70) with T2 N0M0 tumors and more than 10 year's life expectancy. Side-effects are urinary incontinence, impotence and anastomosis stricture. Quality of life should be considered as an important factor for the choice of the patient between radical prostatectomy, radiotherapy and follow-up.
