In 3 patients (6 per cent) vesical neck stenosis developed. Excluding 8 cases early in the series in whom pubectomy also was done the long-term incontinence rate was 2.4 per cent. We conclude that this modified technique without pubectomy is quite satisfactory in the management of patients with clinical stages A to C prostatic carcinoma and the complication rate appears to be less than with traditional surgical approaches. © 1981 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited byWalsh P and Donker P (2018) Impotence following radical prostatectomy: Insight into etiology and preventionJournal of Urology, VOL. 167, NO. 2 Part 2, (1005-1010), Online publication date: 1-Feb-2002.Dillioglugil O, Leibman B, Leibman N, Kattan M, Rosas A and Scardino P (2018) Risk Factors for Complications and Morbidity After Radical Retropubic ProstatectomyJournal of Urology, VOL. 157, NO. 5, (1760-1767), Online publication date: 1-May-1997.Leibovitch I, Foster R, Wass J, Rowland R, Bihrle R, Little S, Kopecky K and Donohue J (2018) Color Doppler Flow Imaging For Deep Venous Thrombosis Screening in Patients Undergoing Pelvic Lymphadenectomy and Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy for Prostatic CarcinomaJournal of Urology, VOL. 153, NO. 6, (1866-1869), Online publication date: 1-Jun-1995.Borland R and Walsh P (2018) The Management of Rectal Injury During Radical Retropubic ProstatectomyJournal of Urology, VOL. 147, NO. 3 Part 2, (905-907), Online publication date: 1-Mar-1992.Morton R, Steiner M and Walsh P (2018) Cancer Control following Anatomical Radical Prostatectomy: An Interim ReportJournal of Urology, VOL. 145, NO. 6, (1197-1200), Online publication date: 1-Jun-1991.Presti J, Schmidt R, Narayan P, Carroll P and Tanagho E (2018) Pathophysiology of Urinary Incontinence After Radical Prost ProstatectomyJournal of Urology, VOL. 143, NO. 5, (975-978), Online publication date: 1-May-1990.Appel R and Lebenson B (2018) Endoscopic Management of Urethrovesical Anastomotic Obliteration Following Radical Retropubic ProstatectomyJournal of Urology, VOL. 142, NO. 3, (818-820), Online publication date: 1-Sep-1989.Wein A (2018) Editorial CommentJournal of Urology, VOL. 142, NO. 5, (1229-1229), Online publication date: 1-Nov-1989.Morse R, Spirnak J and Resnick M (2018) Iatrogenic Colon and Rectal Injuries Associated with Urological Intervention: Report of 14 PatientsJournal of Urology, VOL. 140, NO. 1, (101-103), Online publication date: 1-Jul-1988.Segura J (2018) Editorial CommentJournal of Urology, VOL. 140, NO. 1, (103-103), Online publication date: 1-Jul-1988.Lange P and Reddy P (2018) Technical Nuances and Surgical Results of Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy in 150 PatientsJournal of Urology, VOL. 138, NO. 2, (348-352), Online publication date: 1-Aug-1987.Middleton A (2018) Radical Prostatectomy for Carcinoma in Men More Than 69 Years OldJournal of Urology, VOL. 138, NO. 5, (1185-1188), Online publication date: 1-Nov-1987.Anscher M and Prosnitz L (2018) Postoperative Radiotherapy for Patients with Carcinoma of the Prostate Undergoing Radical Prostatectomy with Positive Surgical Margins, Seminal Vesicle Involvement and/or Penetration Through the CapsuleJournal of Urology, VOL. 138, NO. 6, (1407-1412), Online publication date: 1-Dec-1987.Igel T, Barrett D, Segura J, Benson R and Rife C (2018) Perioperative and Postoperative Complications from Bilateral Pelvic Lymphadenectomy and Radical Retropubic ProstatectomyJournal of Urology, VOL. 137, NO. 6, (1189-1191), Online publication date: 1-Jun-1987.Sadlowski R, Donahue D, Richman A, Sharpe J and Finney R (2018) Accuracy of Frozen Section Diagnosis in Pelvic Lymph Node Staging Biopsies for Adenocarcinoma of the ProstateJournal of Urology, VOL. 129, NO. 2, (324-326), Online publication date: 1-Feb-1983.Catalona W (2018) Editorial CommentsJournal of Urology, VOL. 129, NO. 2, (326-326), Online publication date: 1-Feb-1983.Kirchheim D (2018) Editorial CommentsJournal of Urology, VOL. 129, NO. 2, (326-326), Online publication date: 1-Feb-1983.Walsh P and Donker P (2018) Impotence Following Radical Prostatectomy: Insight Into Etiology and PreventionJournal of Urology, VOL. 128, NO. 3, (492-497), Online publication date: 1-Sep-1982.
