title: Radical retropubic prostatectomy--report on 41 cases.
abstract: Anatomic radical retropubic prostatectomy is an effective method for long-term control of the prostatic carcinoma. In the current era of the anatomic prostatic surgery, blood loss is reduced, complication rate is low and control of the disease may be excellent. Some authors reported cancer-specific survival rate after the radical retropubic prostatectomy of 85-90% over the 10-year period and 82% over the 15-year period. The survival may be more favorable in the patients with lower Gleason scores. The former indicates that radical retropubic prostatectomy is an excellent therapeutic option for treatment of the localized prostatic carcinoma, while selection of patients is a crucial factor for true success of therapy based on this method.
