Impact of Positive Apical Surgical Margins on Likelihood of Biochemical Recurrence After Radical Prostatectomy
The Journal of Urology, 11/20/2009
|
Kordan Y et al. – A solitary positive apical margin was associated with worse biochemical recurrence but on multivariate analysis it was not an independent predictor of recurrence. Models to predict biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy should account ... differences in the prognostic significance of different positive margin sites.

Modified technique in Freyer's prostatectomy to achieve hemostasis
Indian Journal of Urology, 10/07/2009
|
Shahapurkar VV et al. – This study is an attempt to develop a technique by which complete hemostasis can be achieved on table by giving traction to the Foley's catheter thereby compressing the venous plexus and the avulsed ... neck by the inflated balloon. The average blood loss was 18.9 ml which proves that the Foley's balloon pressure traction method at the bladder neck is effective in achieving hemostasis in patients undergoing open prostatectomy.
