摘要
Laparoscopic prostatectomy has become an established treatment option for localized prostate cancer in France, where open prostatectomy is now the gold standard. The main purposes of treatment for prostate cancer are cancer control and preservation of urinary continence and sexual function. To become a standard treatment option for organ-confined prostate cancer, laparoscopic prostatectomy has to show equal or better clinical outcome in these areas than its open counterpart. Many institutes in other countries are now trying to perform this surgery. There are, however, some negative reports, mainly because of the difficulty of the procedure. In Japan, more than 250 patients have undergone this surgery. It seems that satisfactory results in terms of positive surgical margin rate, bleeding volume, recovery from surgery, and urinary continence have been obtained so far. We need longer follow-up to assess recurrence rate and sexual function. The main obstacles for this surgery are the long operative time and the difficulty of the procedures. Although it will take time until laparoscopic prostatectomy becomes an approved treatment modality, we are gradually conquering these problems. In this paper, we review the current situation facing laparoscopic prostatectomy in Japan. © 2002, Current Science Inc.
