A radical retropubic prostatectomy is a surgical approach for removing the entire prostate gland (and seminal vesicles) through an incision in the lower abdomen, specifically in the retropubic space (the area behind the pubic bone and in front of the bladder). This open surgical technique allows the surgeon direct access to the prostate, pelvic lymph nodes, and neurovascular bundles. It has been largely supplemented or replaced by minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopic and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, which use smaller incisions. The 'radical' designation indicates the intent to cure cancer by removing the entire gland and surrounding tissues.
