| pubmed-article:6207715 | pubmed:abstractText | The retropubic prostatectomy is performed mostly for prostatic hypertrophy. By performing the preventive suture-ligation of the bilateral prostatic arteries which are running among the vesicoprostatic pedicle before prostatectomy, massive bleeding from bladder neck and prostatic bed can be controlled well, and ligation of bilateral spermatic cord prevents retrograde epididymitis. This surgical procedure makes retropubic prostatectomy easy. | lld:pubmed |
