Abstrakt: The Authors present a comparison between the first 13 radical perineal prostatectomies performed in their Center and 14 retropubic radical prostatectomies, in order to describe the experience of a group adopting a new technique besides an already acquired one. The age of the patients ranged from 56 to 74 years (mean 67), the mean follow-up was 12 months. Both technique provided a disease-specific survival of 100% and absence of technique-related complicances. The perineal technique implies, at the beginning, worse –- although acceptable –- results as regards continence and erectile function and better results as regards duration of the hospital stay of the patient.
