[Prostate cancer: surgical complications]. Aktuelle Urol. 2020 Jun 17;: Authors: Haidl F, Al-Monajjed R Abstract Radical prostatectomy (RP), performed as an open, laparoscopic or robotic procedure, remains the "gold standard" for patients with localised prostate cancer who can be cured with surgery and have a life expectancy of at least 10 years. Today, RP is also used as a first-line treatment for locally advanced prostate cancer, possibly in a multimodal setting with adjuvant radiation/hormonal therapy. The increasing experience of surgeons, better knowledge of anatomy and refinements of surgical techniques have greatly improved oncological and functional outcomes. In our article we would like to give an overview of the complications associated with this surgical procedure. PMID: 32557447 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
