Radical perineal prostatectomy is a surgical procedure wherein the entire prostate gland is removed through an incision in the area between the anus and the scrotum (perineum). It is used to remove early prostate cancer, in select people who have a small well defined cancer in the prostate. It is less commonly used than the alternative methods of the retropubic route, or the robot assisted laparoscopic approach. The procedure was first performed in 1904 by Hugh H. Young and assisted by William S. Halstead, as a way of removing the prostate in cancer treatment.

  • Radical perineal prostatectomy is a surgical procedure wherein the entire prostate gland is removed through an incision in the area between the anus and the scrotum (perineum). It is used to remove early prostate cancer, in select people who have a small well defined cancer in the prostate. It is less commonly used than the alternative methods of the retropubic route, or the robot assisted laparoscopic approach. When the cancer is small and confined to the prostate, radical perineal prostatectomy achieves the same rate of cure as the retropubic approach but less blood is lost and recovery is faster. One downside to the perineal approach is an increased risk of fecal incontinence. The procedure was first performed in 1904 by Hugh H. Young and assisted by William S. Halstead, as a way of removing the prostate in cancer treatment. (en)
