The advent of anatomic radical retropubic prostatectomy has increased the popularity and number of radical prostatectomies performed for localized prostate cancer in the United States.78 Walsh P.C., Partin A.W., Epstein J.I.

This article reviews current literature with regard to intraoperative, perioperative, and long-term complications of radical prostatectomy. Most of the available literature is based on the results of radical retropubic prostatectomy, which is the focus of this text. Specific differences and complications of radical perineal prostatectomy are addressed separately.
The mortality rate of radical prostatectomy has been low and approaches 0% in recent series.12 Catalona W.J., Carvalhal G.F., Mager D.E. , et al. Potency, continence and complication rates in 1870 consecutive radical retropubic prostatectomies J Urol 1999 ; 162 : 433 [cross-ref]
