Objectives There is a little published data on the outcomes of radical prostatectomy in the Irish context. We aimed to determine the 5-year oncological results of open radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) performed by a single surgeon following appointment. Methods A retrospective review of RRPs performed between 2011 and 2016 was conducted. Patient demographics, preoperative parameters (clinical stage on digital rectal exam, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, biopsy Gleason's score and MRI [magnetic resonance imaging] findings), pathological variables (T-stage, Gleason's score, nodal status, and surgical margin status), and treatment decisions (lymphadenectomy or adjuvant radiotherapy) were recorded. Oncological outcome at last follow-up was ascertained. Results 265 patients underwent RRP between 2011 and 2016. Median age was 62 years (range: 41–74). Mean follow-up was 32.24 months (range: 8–72) months. Pathological disease stage was T2 in 170/265 (64.15%), T3a in 65/265 (24.53%), and T3b in 30/265 (11.32%). Final Gleason's score was upgraded from diagnostic biopsy in 16.35% (43/263) and downgraded in 27% (71/263). Pelvic lymph node dissection was performed in 44.25% (118/265) patients. A positive surgical margin (PSM) was seen in 26/170 (15.2%) patients with T2 disease and in 45/95 (47.37%) patients with T3 disease. Of the 265 patients, 238 (89.81%) were disease-free at last follow-up, of whom 24/238 (10.08%) had received adjuvant and 17/238 (7.14%) received salvage radiotherapy. Adjuvant/salvage treatment was ongoing in 19/265 (7.17%) of patients. Conclusion Good oncological outcomes of RRP in the Irish context are seen in this 5-year review, with the vast majority of patients experiencing biochemical-free survival at most recent follow-up.

Purpose. Patients diagnosed with clinically localized prostate cancer have more surgical treatment options than in the past. This paper focuses on the procedures' oncological or functional outcomes and perioperative morbidities of radical retropubic prostatectomy, radical perineal prostatectomy, and robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.Materials and Methods. A MEDLINE/PubMed search of the literature on radical prostatectomy and other new management options was performed.Results. Compared to the open procedures, robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy has no confirmed significant difference in most literatures besides less blood loss and blood transfusion. Nerve sparing is a safe means of preserving potency on well-selected patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. Positive surgical margin rates of radical prostatectomy affect the recurrence and survival of prostate cancer. The urinary and sexual function outcomes have been vastly improved. Neoadjuvant treatment only affects the rate of positive surgical margin. Adjuvant therapy can delay and reduce the risk of recurrence and improve the survival of the high risk prostate cancer.Conclusions. For the majority of patients with organ-confined prostate cancer, radical prostatectomy remains a most effective approach. Radical perineal prostatectomy remains a viable approach for patients with morbid obesity, prior pelvic surgery, or prior pelvic radiation. Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) has become popular among surgeons but has not yet become the firmly established standard of care. Long-term data have confirmed the efficacy of radical retropubic prostatectomy with disease control rates and cancer-specific survival rates.

Abstract Background: Tertiary Gleason pattern 5 (TGP5) was found to be prognostic in prostate cancer (PCa) after radical prostatectomy (RP), but related data from China was rare. Our study was aimed at finding out the effect of TGP5 on PCa with Gleason score (GS) 7 and supplementing data from China in this field.Methods: A total of 229 cases met with inclusion criteria during Jan. 2014 to Dec. 2018 were reviewed. Cases were divided into GS 7 without TGP5 and GS 7 with TGP5. We compared age at diagnosis, preoperative PSA level, prostate volume, PSA density (PSAD), GS variation, clinical T staging, pathological T staging, T staging variation, extra-prostatic extension (EPE), positive surgical margin (PSM) and seminal vesicle invasion (SVI) between the groups. Effects of TGP5 on prognosis of PCa with GS 7 were evaluated using biochemical recurrence (BCR) as the primary end point.Results: TGP5 was related to higher PSM rate (P=0.001) and BCR rate (P=0.009) but not related to higher preoperative PSA level, larger prostate volume, higher PSAD, GS upgrade, poorer clinical/pathological T staging, T upstaging, EPE and SVI (all P>0.05). The median follow-up time was 24 months (interquartile range 17.5-45.5). TGP5 was an independent risk factor to PCa with GS 7 after RP using Kaplan-Meier log-rank test (P=0.018). Both univariable and multivariable cox-regression analysis pointed out that TGP5 increased the incidence of BCR in PCa with GS 7 (P<0.05). Stratified analyses were also done.Conclusion: TGP5 is an independent risk factor predicting of BCR after RP in PCa with GS 7 from China. TGP5 is related to higher PSM rate and BCR incidence. It is time to renew the contemporary Grading Group system with the consideration of TGP.
