Endoscopic Extraperitoneal Radical Prostatectomy + Dvd-Rom

About this book

Endoscopic/laparoscopic extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy (EERPE) has become established as a viable therapeutic option for localized prostate cancer.

This book is an atlas, not a conventional textbook. Its guides the urologist step by step through EERPE, enabling the practitioner to confidently and successfully perform this highly standardized technique.

Every stage of the procedure is presented with numerous endoscopic images and diagrams so that practitioners can fully grasp and follow each individual surgical step. Complications and their management are described in detail.

Special chapters are devoted to the anatomy of the prostate, anesthesiology considerations, and postoperative management and training.
