Five-year oncological and functional outcomes of open anterograde anatomical radical retropubic prostatectomy: a randomized controlled trial in a low-resource setting

Key Points

• The research aims to evaluate the oncological and functional outcomes of open anterograde anatomical radical retropubic prostatectomy over five years.
• Randomized controlled trial design
• Participants underwent open anterograde anatomical radical retropubic prostatectomy
• Outcomes measured include oncological and functional results over five years
• Five-year oncological outcomes displayed satisfactory survival rates
• Functional outcomes showed consistent improvement post-surgery
• Significant differences observed between techniques in low-resource settings
