title: Successful resection of prostatic rhabdomyosarcoma by the posterior sagittal approach combined with preoperative chemotherapy.
abstract: The authors used a posterior sagittal approach to successfully remove a huge prostatic rhabdomyosarcoma from a 3-year-old boy after he had received intensive chemotherapy. This procedure enables safe removal of the prostatic rhabdomyosarcoma under direct vision and with minimal damage to other pelvic organs.
