Radical Laparoscopic Prostatectomy: Managing Localized Prostate Cancer Chase Wilson M1
Patient Presentation • Difficulty urinating • Decreased force of urine flow • Blood in urine and/or semen • Swelling in legs • Pelvic pain
Clinical Screening • Digital Rectal Exam (DRE) • Abnormal size/texture of prostate • PSA > 4.0 ng/mL
Diagnostic Tools and Stages of Prostate Cancer • Ultrasound • Prostate biopsy (Gleason score) • CT Scan • MRI • Stage I—not detectable on DRE • Stage II—detectable on DRE, confined to prostate • Stage III—spread to seminal vesicles/nearby tissues • Stage IV—complete metastasis
Non-Surgical Treatment Options • Radiation Therapy • External radiation • Brachytherapy (radioactive seeds) • Hormone therapy (decrease testosterone levels) • Medications • Orchiectomy • Chemotherapy
Surgical Treatment Options • Retropubic Surgery • Perineal Surgery • Laparoscopic Surgery • Robotic Surgery
Advantages of Laparoscopic Approach • Better visualization of prostate anatomy • Reduced blood loss • Better nerve sparing • Quicker post-operative recovery

Instrument Placement Laparoscope Grasper/suction Forceps, grasper Grasper/suction, scissors Ultrasonic scissors, needle holder
Prostatectomy Procedure • Detach bladder from anterior abdominal wall (D1_:12) • Anterior and lateral dissection of prostate (:16-40) • Divide prostate and bladder neck (D2_:02-08) • Dissection of ductus deferens and seminal vesicles (:12) • Incise Denovillier’s fascia, dissect prostate from rectum (:22)
Prostatectomy Procedure • Carefully dissect neurovascular bundles from lateral prostate (:28) • Hemostasis and division of superficial dorsal vein (:46) • Divide prostate and urethra (:52) • Remove prostate, seminal vesicles, and ductus deferens (:57) • Vesicourethralanastomosis (D3)
Detach Bladder Anterior abdominal wall Bladder Future Retzius’ space
Anterior/Lateral Dissection Location of superficial dorsal vein Pelvic rim Prostate (Inside Retzius’s space)
Superficial Dorsal Vein Superficial dorsal vein Pelvic rim Pelvic floor (levator ani and endopelvic fascia) Prostate Location of nerve bundle
Divide Prostate and Bladder Neck Urinary catheter Superior prostate Bladder neck
Seminal Vesicles/Ductus Deferens Seminal vesicle Location of neurovascular bundle Ductus deferens
Denovillier’s Fascia Seminal vesicle Neurovascular bundle Posterior prostate Rectum (deep to denovillier’s fascia) Denovillier’s fascia
Nerve Sparing Fine dissecting scissors Plexus of nerves Scissors dissect between prostatic capsule and lateral prostatic fascia Neurovascular bundle
Division of Superficial Dorsal Vein Superficial dorsal vein Anterior prostate
Division of Prostate and Urethra Urethra Catheter Prostate
Prostate Removal Pelvic rim Lateral prostate Superior prostate
VesicourethralAnastomosis Urethra Catheter w/ grasper Needle holder Bladder neck Anchor stitch
Time Lapse Anastomosis Urethra Bladder neck
Post-Operative Care • Infection control: • Antibiotics • Drain • Urinary catheter (removed ~7 days post-op) • Blood thinners • Little pain medication necessary
Operative Complications • Infection • Incontinence • Erectile dysfunction • Persistent cancer • Blood clots
