The aim of this study was to investigate a single-institution experience with radical perineal prostatectomy (RPP), radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) and minimally invasive radical prostatectomy (MIRP) with respect to onco-surgical outcomes in patients with intermediate-risk (IR; PSA 10-20 ng/mL, biopsy Gleason score bGS 7 or cT2b-2c) and high-risk (HR; PSA >20 ng/mL, bGS ≥8, or ≥cT3) prostate cancer (PCa).
We retrospectively reviewed data from 2,581 men who underwent radical prostatectomy for IR and HR PCa (RPP, n = 689; RRP, n = 402; MIRP, n = 1,490 [laparoscopic, n = 206; robot-assisted laparoscopic, n = 1,284]). The proportion of HR PCa was 40. 3%, 46. 8%, and 49. 5% in RPP, RRP, and MIRP (P < 0. 001), respectively. The positive surgical margin rate was 23. 8%, 26. 1%, and 18. 7% (P = 0. 002) overall, 17. 5%, 17. 8%, and 8. 8% (P < 0. 001) for pT2 disease and 41. 9%, 44. 4%, and 40. 0% (P = 0. 55) for pT3 disease in men undergoing RPP, RRP, and MIRP, respectively. Biochemical recurrence-free survival rates among RPP, RRP, and MIRP were 73. 0%, 70. 1%, and 76. 8%, respectively, at 5 yr (RPP vs. RPP, P = 0. 02; RPP vs. MIRP, P = 0. 23). Furthermore, comparable 5-yr metastases-free survival rates were demonstrated for specific surgical approaches (RPP vs. RPP, P = 0. 26; RPP vs. MIRP, P = 0. 06). RPP achieved acceptable oncological control for IR and HR PCa.
