We show that our results with urinary diversion are promising in patients requiring radical cystoprostatectomy. The two methods preferred in our institution offer a sufficient protection of the upper urinary tract with a low complication rate, good voiding function and continence.
Radical retropubic prostatectomy is the method of choice and the golden standard for treatment of organ confined prostate carcinoma in patients with long life expectancy, no neither local nor distant metastases and good overall status. With this technique complication rates are minimal, the cure rate is very big and the patients have high quality of life. The experience of the surgeon is very important since the learning curve is crucial for diminishing operative time, postoperative complications and blood transfusions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
