Abstract

We herein report our group of 39 with prostate cancer who where treated with a radical prostatectomy in fifteen years at the Hospital San Juan de Dios. We report our complications finding as expected in a small series, a higher incidence of them, with no doubt related to a late diagnosis. We insist in the necessity of early detection program and the use of better modern surgical procedures to obtain better results.
