title: [Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for incidental prostate cancer after TURP].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the management of incidental prostate cancer after TURP by laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP).
  
  
  METHODS
  Between April 2005 and December 2011, we treated 4 cases of incidental prostate cancer with p504s (+) by LRP, 1 at 3 mon, while the other 3 at 1.5 mon after TURP.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The operations were successfully performed in all the 4 cases, all by extraperitoneal approach. Postoperative pathology showed prostate cancer in 2 of the cases with Gleason scores of 6-7, high-level epithelial neoplasia in 1, and no malignancy in the other. Postoperative observation and 1-79 mon follow-up visit revealed good urinary function but no obvious urinary incontinence, metastasis and erectile dysfunction.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  With practiced laparoscopic skills, laparoscopic radical prostatectomy may achieve satisfactory results in the treatment of incidental prostate cancer after TURP.
