Abstract

Between 1986-1991 we treated 50 men with adenocarcinoma of the prostate by radical prostatectomy. Ages ranged from 44-74 and clinical stages were A-C. Follow-up lasted 1-63 months (mean 15.1) and was designed to rule out recurrence and/or spread of the disease and to evaluate quality of life. The rate of complications was low, the postoperative course short and uneventful, and there was preservation of urinary continence in 96% and of potency in 10.2%. As compared with radiotherapy, surgery gave superior results and is recommended.
