Brief Summary
This study describes how to perform a correct prostatic apex and membranous urethra in order to preserve all anatomical elements that are necessary to achieve a very fast urinary continence after open/laparoscopic/robotic radical prostatectomy, avoiding positive surgical margins at this level.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
change in the proportion of patients with of urinary incontinence
Assessment of the proportion of patients with urinary incontinence after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy
The follow-up was at 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks after removal of the urethral catheter (one week after surgery), and, thereafter, once a month over the first year after surgery
Secondary Outcomes (3)
change in the proportion of patients with recovery of the erectile function
every month during the first year after surgery
number of patients with overall positive surgical margins
immediate postoperative period
biochemical recurrence rate
until the completion of the study, with a mean follow-up of 72 months
