Abstract

A modified method of retropubic radical prostatectomy was devised. The root of the penis was compressed and the bilateral internal iliac arteries were clamped before the dissection of the prostate. The urethra was divided at the junction of the prostate and bladder so that the bladder stump thus created has the size of the tip of the middle finger. Vesicourethral anastomosis was done by Vest procedure. By this method 24 patients were operated. All patients except one were alive without recurrence after the mean follow-up of 32 months. This method seems to be good enough to recommend.
