Abstract
Objective

Historical review of the origins and technical evolution of retropubic prostatectomy in prostate cancer.

Material and method

Review of original articles on the design of retropubic prostatectomy techniques.

Results

The first prostatectomy could have been performed in the early 19th century. Millin (1945) opened the way for retropubic prostatectomy with the retropubic access design. Memmelar (1949) structured retrograde prostatectomy. Campbell designed antegrade prostatectomy (1959). Based on anatomical studies, Walsh (1983) designed retrograde prostatectomy with preservation of sexual function.

Conclusion

Technical inputs accumulated over approximately 80 years concluded with the description of the Walsh technique, which is currently considered the standard technique for retropubic prostatectomy.

Resumen
Objetivo

Revisión histórica de los orígenes y de la evolución técnica de la prostatectomía retropúbica en el cáncer de próstata.

Material y método

Revisión fundamentalmente de los artículos originales sobre el diseño de las técnicas de prostatectomía retropúbica.

Resultados

Es posible que la primera prostatectomía se realizara a principios del s. XIX. Millin (1945) abrió el camino de la prostatectomía retropúbica al diseñar el acceso retropúbico a la próstata. Memmelar (1949) estructuró la prostatectomía retrógrada. Campbell diseñó la prostatectomía anterógrada (1959). Walsh (1983) basándose en trabajos anatómicos diseñó la técnica de prostatectomía retrógrada con preservación de la función sexual.

Conclusión

Las aportaciones técnicas acumuladas durante aproximadamente 80 años concluyeron con la descripción de la técnica de Walsh que se considera en la actualidad la técnica estándar de prostatectomía retropúbica.
