INTRODUCTION: To determine the perioperative complications and morbidity of radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) and to analyze risk factors for observed complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data of 1,000 @entity1 undergoing RRP and pelvic lymphadenectomy (pLA) performed by different surgeons of the same hospital were collected. Uni- and multivariate analysis was performed to detect associations between intra- and @entity260 and specific variables. RESULTS: Relevant @entity3816 were observed in 28 cases and relevant @entity260 in 187 cases requiring reoperations in 46 @entity1 . @entity260 occurred in 75 cases. The surgeon's experience and the operating time significantly influenced the incidence of @entity3816 . Extended pLA was associated with significantly higher rates of lymphoceles and reoperations. The @entity1 with lymphocele showed significantly higher rates of @entity1150 ( @entity1150 ), @entity1151 ( @entity1151 ) and reoperation and @entity1 with @entity1150 a higher incidence of @entity1151 and a higher rate of reoperations. The incidence of anastomotic strictures correlated significantly with postoperative urine retention. CONCLUSIONS: RRP is a safe surgical procedure. In the hands of experienced urologic surgeons it is associated with lower incidences of severe @entity3816 . A substantial proportion of @entity260 are associated with pLA and its extension.
