Abstract
Currently, prostate cancer is one of the most common oncological pathologies in Russia. We analysed the early results of surgical treatment of 259 patients with prostate cancer who were under our surveillance from 2016 to 2017. These patients were divided into two groups: first group underwent cryoablation of the prostate (31 patients), second group underwent radical prostatectomy without lymphadenectomy (39 patients). According to results of the preoperative examinations there was obtained no data on extracapsular tumour process, as well as on regional lymphadenopathy. All patients had no interest in sexual function. Prostate volume ranged from 12 to 65 cm3, PSA level ranged from 4.1 to 10 ng / ml, Gleason score ranged from 5 to 8 points. According to the first results we observed PSA level decrease in both groups of patients. Retention of urine, as well as the intensity of postoperative pain in patients undergoing cryoablation of the prostate is better in comparison with Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, however, we continue evaluation of long-term oncological and functional results.
