Abstract |
Modifications in radical retropubic prostatectomy that use the deep dorsal vein ligator and either anterior urethropexy or puboprostatic ligament preservation were developed to reduce blood loss and improve continence results. Use of the deep dorsal vein ligator to secure the deep dorsal vein complex also improves visualization of the urethra for transection and the neurovascular bundle for nerve sparing and thereby may assist in laparoscopic radical retropubic prostatectomy.
