Radical retropubic prostatectomy has long been considered one of the most difficult procedures in the urologist's armamentarium. Therefore, we performed a thorough review of recent literature regarding intraoperative and postoperative complications. The intent of this effort is to review established data regarding the most frequently seen complications and to highlight recent developments regarding the prevention or treatment of such complications.

Purpose: Current management for clinically localized prostate cancer in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) includes surgery, external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), and brachytherapy either alone or in combination, with plus or minus hormone therapy. The toxicity profiles and oncological outcomes of these treatment modalities vary. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the prevalence of treatment-related outcomes and toxicities for men diagnosed with localized prostate cancer in LMICs.

Introduction: This report describes late erosion of an Adjustable Transobturator Male System device which was inserted for post-prostatectomy incontinence. The Adjustable Transobturator Male System device eroded the bulbar urethra 5 years post insertion, despite initial improvement of symptoms.
Case Presentation: Following an open radical retropubic prostatectomy, a 64 year-old male patient developed post-prostatectomy incontinence.

Objective: Prostate cancer is a significant health concern worldwide and ranks as the 4th most frequent cancer among men in Azerbaijan. While robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is the preferred surgical technique in many countries, open retropubic radical prostatectomy (ORP) remains the primary treatment option in Azerbaijan due to limited access to robotic surgical systems. This study aims to analyze the outcomes of ORP in patients with local and locally advanced prostate cancer.

Background: To evaluate the potential capability of preoperative urinary Prostate Cancer Antigen 3 (PCA3) in predicting adverse pathologic features in patients with any- risk prostate cancer undergoing open retro-pubic radical prostatectomy.
Methods: Sixty-one biopsy-proven, clinically localized prostate cancer patients who underwent open radical prostatectomy were included in a prospectively designed cohort to evaluate the association of PCA3 score with various Adverse Pathologic Features (APF). The Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve was used to quantify the predictive accuracy of PCA3 and a cut-off point was calculated to determine the predictability potential of PCA3 in foretelling the study parameters.
