Background: The organisation, volume and early morbidity after radical prostatectomy has not been researched in Denmark.
Materials And Methods: The National Hospital Register was searched for all radical prostatectomies in Denmark from 2004-2007, including mortality and readmissions.
Results: In total, 1469 radical prostatectomies were performed, initially in 9 departments, decreasing to 6 departments in 2007. From 2004 to 2007 the number of operations increased by approximately 60%. Median hospital stay was 4 days (mean 5.1 days) without any differences between departments. Mortality was 0.2%.
Conclusion: There is an increasing rate of radical prostatectomies in Denmark. It is proposed that a national database be established to monitor early and long-term outcomes, including the role of surgical technique (nerve sparing, laparoscopic/robotic surgery, etc.) in order to ensure optimal organisation.

Purpose: Clinical variables alone have limited ability to determine which patients will have recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP). We evaluated the ability of locked multimodal artificial intelligence (MMAI) algorithms trained on prostate biopsy specimens to predict prostate cancer specific mortality (PCSM) and overall survival (OS) among patients undergoing radical prostatectomy with digitized RP specimens.
Materials And Methods: The Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Randomized Controlled Trial randomized subjects from 1993-2001 to cancer screening or control.
[Role of prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PSMA-PET/CT) in staging].

The superiority of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) over conventional staging methods such as computed tomography (CT) and bone scintigraphy has now been demonstrated for almost all clinical stages of prostate cancer. In primary diagnostics, PSMA-PET/CT is therefore the new standard for risk-adapted whole-body staging. At the same time, PSMA-PET/CT provides a new risk-based classification for predicting overall survival across all early and late stages of the disease.

Background: Although F-prostate-specific membrane antigen-1007 (F-PSMA-1007) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) are good predictors of prostate cancer (PCa) prognosis, their combined ability to predict prostate-specific antigen (PSA) persistence has not been thoroughly evaluated. In this study, we assessed whether clinical, mpMRI, and F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT characteristics could predict PSA persistence in patients with PCa treated with radical prostatectomy (RP).
Methods: This retrospective study involved consecutive patients diagnosed with PCa who underwent both preoperative mpMRI and PSMA PET/CT scans between April 2019 and June 2022.
Usefulness of Mesh Reinforcement in Pubic Fixation Urethral Sling Surgery for Urinary Incontinence After Radical Prostatectomy.

Objectives: In our institution, a unique sling technique is performed for urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy. However, in cases of severe urinary incontinence or in the medium to long term, the therapeutic effect may be insufficient. Therefore, a urethral sling technique that provides stronger compression of the bulbar urethra was developed, and its effectiveness was compared with the conventional technique.

Phthalate exposure is linked to prostate enlargement through sex hormonal changes and oxidative stress. However, its role and action mechanism in prostate cancer remain unclear. This study examined two patient cohorts: 204 patients undergoing prostate biopsy (24 benign and 180 malignancies) and 85 with confirmed prostate cancer receiving robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy.
