Utilizing the anatomic techniques of early dorsal vein ligation, hypogastric artery control, and epidural anesthesia, b
A total of 153 patients with prior prostate surgery underwent a radical retropubic prostatectomy for carcinoma of the prostate. Ninety-seven patients had undergone transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), and 56 patients had undergone suprapubic transvesical prostatectomy (SPP). In 115 patien
