EAU Session On Open And Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy Tumors
Dr. Touijer, New York, USA presented "Comparative Analysis of the Impact of Prostate Volume on Positive Surgical Margin Incidence and Location between Open and Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy". The goal was to assess prostate weight in correlation with positive surgical margin (PSM) incidence, and location in patients undergoing either lap or open RP at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. During the time 2002-2005, 527 patients underwent lap RP and 860 underwent open RP. PSM was diagnosed when tumor cells were present at the inked margin. In lap and open RP, one or more PSMs were found in 11% and 11.3%, respectively. After adjusting for other clinical and pathologic variables, PSM was associated with smaller prostate volume. Interestingly, in prostate volumes
