title: Radical retropubic prostatectomy--results in 127 surgically treated patients.
abstract: Radical prostatectomy represents an optimal therapeutic method in treatment of the localized prostatic carcinoma. It may be performed using retropubic, perineal, transcoccygeal or laparoscopic approach. In a multicenter study, the authors have analyzed 127 patients surgically treated in the period 1992 - 2003. All the patients were preoperatively diagnosed with the localized prostatic carcinoma. The patients were operated at the Clinic of Urology in Belgrade (92 patients) and other departments of urology in Serbia (35 patients). The youngest patient was 49 while the oldest one was 75 (mean age 64 years). The surgical procedure duration ranged between 60 and 120 minutes. Over the last five years, the need for blood transfusion was below 50%. All the patients underwent retropubic radical prostatectomy.
