title: [Can a precise vesiculectomy be performed during radical prostatectomy?].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To define the anatomical landmarks allowing precise vesiculectomy to be performed during radical prostatectomy for cancer.
  
  
  METHODS
  12 non-formalin-preserved anatomical subjects were dissected as during retropubic and perineal prostatectomy, with and without coloured latex vascular injection.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Three anatomical landmarks were defined: 1) Denonvilliers' fascia; 2) vas deferens; 3) arteries supplying the seminal vesicles.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These three anatomical landmarks ensure: complete resection, preservation of adjacent anatomical structures and elective haemostasis.
