Abstract:
Radical prostatectomy (RP) is the standard treatment for patients with early-stage of prostate cancer,but often causes urinary incontinence and other complications, which harm patients’ quality of life. The protection and reconstruction of urinary continence-related structures during the operation are significant approaches to reduce the incidence of urinary incontinence and restore urinary continence. This article reviewed the surgical approaches of radical prostatectomy, anatomy of urinary continence-related structures (bladder neck, functional urethra, supporting structures, nerves and vessels) and the protective skills,hoping to provide reference for the treatment of early-stage prostate cancer.
