Abstract

Perineal radical prostatectomy (PRP) is one of the oldest surgical procedures for prostate cancer, but its use has declined over the past 30 years. New studies show that PRP is not only minimally invasive but beneficial from an economic perspective and should not yet be abandoned in the treatment of early prostate cancer.
