OBJECTIVE: To investigate the outcome of preperitoneal @entity169 mesh repairs performed during endoscopic extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy (EERPE). @entity1 AND METHODS: Ninety-three @entity1 underwent @entity169 during 2125 EERPEs performed between 2002 and 2008. Seventy-seven @entity1 had a unilateral @entity547 and 16 bilateral @entity169 . @entity1 were treated with EERPE or nerve-sparing EERPE and pelvic lymphadenectomy (if indicated) for @entity263 . RESULTS: The mean age of the @entity1 was 63 years (range 49-75 years). Operative time was 150 minutes (range 85-285 minutes) and estimated mean @entity190 was 240   mL (range 30-600   mL). Blood transfusion was never deemed necessary. No conversions to open surgery took place. The mean duration of catheterization was 6.5 days (range 4-25 days). One @entity1 developed a pelvic haematoma, three @entity1 had symptomatic pelvic lymphoceles, and one developed an anastomotic stricture. One @entity1 suffered a @entity130 during the procedure and another developed @entity1150 . The only complication of @entity547 repair was mild penile @entity2981 and @entity4 . During the follow-up period, we have never observed mesh @entity281 or @entity547 recurrence. CONCLUSION: EERPE combined with either a unilateral or bilateral laparoscopic @entity547 repair appears to be a safe and effective procedure. The incidence of complications related to either EERPE or the @entity547 repair was not increased. Oncological and functional outcome of EERPE seems not to be influenced by the performance of @entity169 .
