Journal ArticleDOI
Impotence Following Radical Prostatectomy: Insight into Etiology and Prevention.
TL;DR: Impotence after radical prostatectomy results from injury to the pelvic nerve plexus that provides autonomic innervation to the corpora cavernosa, and refinements in surgical technique, especially during ligation of the lateral pedicle and apical dissection, can prevent this complication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radical prostatectomy with preservation of sexual function: anatomical and pathological considerations.
TL;DR: It is shown that it is possible to cure localized prostatic cancer with surgery and maintain postoperative sexual function in men who underwent the procedure 2‐10 months previously.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Factors for Urinary Incontinence after Radical Prostatectomy
James A. Eastham,Michael W. Kattan,Eamonn Rogers,Jeremy R. Goad,Makoto Ohori,Timothy B. Boone,Peter T. Scardino +6 more
TL;DR: While the risk of urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy is related to the uncontrollable factor of patient age, it is also sensitive to the surgical technique used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Anatomical Radical Prostatectomy on Urinary Continence
TL;DR: It is suggested that anatomical factors rather than preservation of autonomic innervation may be responsible for the improved urinary control associated with an anatomical approach to radical prostatectomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The present status of radical prostatectomy for stages A and B prostatic cancer.
TL;DR: Radical prostatectomy for cure should be limited to clinical B1 cases without distant spread, but it provides the best 15-year survival rate more completely, more quickly, less expensively, and with fewer discomforts than other methods.

Journal ArticleDOI
Endocrine control of prostatic carcinoma; clinical and statistical survey of 1,818 cases.
Reed M. Nesbit,William C. Baum +1 more
TL;DR: For the past eight years the physician has been confronted with problems concerning the selection of the form of endocrine modification most efficacious for the particular needs of the patient, the designation of the most opportune time to institute therapy and the choice of secondary therapy once relapse has occurred.
Journal ArticleDOI
The palpable nodule of prostatic cancer. Results 15 years after radical excision.
TL;DR: Until Jan 1, 1951, radical perineal prostatectomy was performed on 111 patients with clinically localized and discrete cancer, and in 82 recent cases an improved technique has provided complete urinary control in 80 instances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linear accelerator supervoltage radiotherapy. vii. carcinoma of the prostate.
TL;DR: It is perhaps paradoxical that, since the first aggressive surgical approach to carcinoma of the prostate by Young in 1904 with radical perineal prostatectomy, the urologists have made creditable advances in the treatment of this disease with nonsurgical technics.

Radiotherapy in the Conservative Treatment of Operable and Locally Inoperable Carcinoma of the Prostate
TL;DR: It is felt certain that radiotherapy will rapidly become the treatment of choice of all carcinomas of the prostate, operable or inoperable, which remain confined to the pelvis.
