Retrograde Extraperitoneal Laparoscopic Prostatectomy (RELP). A Prospective Study about 1,000 Consecutive Patients, with Oncological and Functional Results.

Purpose: Usual laparoscopic surgery of localized prostate cancer uses antegrade dissection. We describe and evaluate the original RELP (Retrograde Extraperitoneal Laparoscopic Prostatectomy).

Materials And Methods: A prospective cohort of 1005 patients with clinical localized cancer prostate were operated from December 1999 to September 2013, in Lyon (France), and followed up to 172 months (median: 60 months).

Isolated disruption of the ureteropelvic junction following blunt abdominal trauma is rare, although not exceptional. The diagnosis may be delayed. CT-scan with excretory phase imaging is the usual mode of diagnosis.

[Retroperitoneal laparoscopic pyeloplasty: retrospective study of 45 consecutive adult cases].
