Abstract Introduction Prostate cancer is the most common amongst men and treated via radical prostatectomy. Patient sentiment towards prostatectomy provides opportunities to highlight areas of improvement based on patients experience under treatment. Using social media gauge patient surgery largely unexplored. To address this deficiency, we investigated analysis tweets related prostatectomies d...

PURPOSE To evaluate the impact of incontinence etiology on artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) device outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We identified 925 patients who underwent primary AUS placement from 1983 to 2011. The etiology of incontinence was categorized as radical prostatectomy alone, radical prostatectomy with radiation, benign prostate resection, and those with cryotherapy as a salvag...

PURPOSE Health related quality of life concerns factor prominently in prostate cancer management. We describe health related quality of life impact and recovery profiles of 4 commonly used operative treatments for localized prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Beginning in February 2000 all patients treated with open radical prostatectomy, robot assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy, brachyth...

Robotic radical prostatectomy is a new innovation in the surgical treatment of prostate cancer. The technique is continuously evolving. In this article we demonstrate The Ohio State University technique for robotic radical prostatectomy. Robotic radical prostatectomy is performed using the da Vinci surgical system. The video demonstrates each step of the surgical procedure. Preliminary results ...

A duplicated collecting system is a common congenital anomaly of the urinary tract. However, late symptomatic presentation in adulthood uncommon. We report first case left heminephrectomy, ureterectomy and radical prostatectomy using da Vinci SP (single port) surgical 64-year-old patient with localized prostate cancer ectopic ureteral insertion into prostatic urethra. The procedure was complete...

Radical prostatectomy continues to play a central role in the management of localized prostate cancer. The majority of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer will undergo radical prostatectomy. A decrease in the morbidity of this surgical procedure has been accomplished through an improved understanding of pelvic anatomy and a greater understanding of the natural history of prostate cancer. Re...

Urinary incontinence after prostatectomy for malignant and/or benign prostatic diseases is one of the most serious complications. Urinary incontinence occurs rarely after prostatectomy for benign diseases. However, it may occur more commonly after radical prostatectomy. These complications affect the patient’s quality of life. Treatment of incontinence due prostatectomy includes several methods...

Radiotherapy is the main salvage option after primary radical prostatectomy. Radical prostatectomy, cryosurgical ablation and high-intensity focused ultrasound are the main salvage options after primary radiotherapy. After primary radiotherapy, long-term oncological outcome of salvage radical prostatectomy and salvage cryosurgical ablation is fairly comparable with the results of primary radica...
