  • Title: Immediate radical prostatectomy for incidentally found prostate cancer after open prostatectomy for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
    Author: Bauer JJ, Heidenberg HB.
    Journal: Tech Urol; 1997; 3(3):172-5. PubMed ID: 9422451.
    Abstract:
    We describe the case report and detailed operative findings of a 57-year-old man who underwent radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) for incidental prostate cancer 2 weeks after open prostatectomy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). We advocate an open cystotomy at the time of RRP to identify the ureters and assure that the bladder neck margin is free of prostatic tissue. We offer this therapy as a safe curative treatment modality in the early postoperative period after prior prostate surgery.
