[Radical perineal prostatectomy].
The authors have compared results of the first 9 perineal prostatectomies to a similar group of patients who underwent radical retropubic prostatectomy. In the group of patients after perineal prostatectomies the time of operation was at the average two hours less and the volume of blood loss was also two times less. Perineal radical prostatectomy is an effective modem method of treatment of localized prostate cancer. For many patients it will be a valuable alternative of the retropubic radical prostatectomy.
