Objectives. The selection criteria for a nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy (NSRP) are not thoroughly investigated and are based mainly on preoperative digital rectal examinations and intraoperative findings. At our institution NSRP is performed only on patients whose preoperative systematic sextant biopsy of the prostate showed only unilateral cancer. To prove the safety of these criteria, we analyzed the incidence of positive surgical margins and tumor progression rate in patients who were selected for an NSRP only by the result of the biopsy.
