Prostate Cancer: Multicentric Study Comparing Carcinological and Functional Results of Surgery

National multicentric prospective open study, comparing two current surgical methods: laparoscopic way versus open retropubic way among patients requiring a radical prostatectomy for a localised prostate cancer.

The aim of this study is to show that radical prostatectomy by laparoscopic way could obtain carcinological results not lower than theses with radical retropubic surgery.

• Clinical stage T1c and rate of PSA (with 20 ng/ml).
• Osseous scintiscanning and abdomen-pelvic scanner negative.
• Patient informed of the study and its participation.
• Patient affiliated to a social security system.
