Abstract

A total of 28 patients with clinically localized prostate cancer (PCa) underwent extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (EP-LRP). The mean operative duration was 309 (287 ∼ 600) minutes. Estimated blood loss ranged from 380 to 1000 (mean 480) ml. At 3 to 5 days postoperatively, the catheter was removed. No open conversion was required and no patient presented postoperative complications. PSA level was less than 0.1 ng/ml at 3 months after surgery in all patients. At a mean follow-up of 10 (6 ∼ 16) months, there were no biochemical failures. The extraperitoneal technique potentially decreased the risk of intra-abdominal complications and better approximated than open retropubic radical prostatectomy. In conclusion, EP-LRP is an effective, safe and precise technique.
