The technique of radical perineal prostatectomy.
The resurgence of the radical perineal prostatectomy for the treatment of localized prostate cancer has been facilitated by the current emphasis on reducing medical costs, the identification of more cases of localized disease, the selected use of lymphadenectomy, and the use of laparoscopic techniques to perform node sampling. This technique provides a cost-effective, low-morbidity, and efficacious means of treating localized prostate cancer.
