Abstract

Biopsy, intraoperative suturing of the dorsal vascular complex (DVC) of penile and clipping of the lateral vascular pedicle to control bleeding during radical prostatectomy (RP) are the classic procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer in clinical practice. Based on intrafascial RP and the idea of whole gland conformal separation, a series of "micro-innovations" were carried out, including DVC stitchless and vascular pedicle clipless techniques. They simplified the surgical steps, protected the surrounding structure and facilitated RP, which were preferred for patients with localized prostate cancer.
