In this report, we looked at outcomes for infrequent cases of anterior prostate cancer treated with anterior partial prostatectomy, an uncommon surgical procedure as an alternative to in situ focal ablation therapy, to better preserve functional outcomes as compared with whole gland therapy. We found that functional outcomes of uninterrupted continence and erectile function were good. Out of 28 patients, eight had recurrence in the remaining prostate and were treated with a second surgical procedure, radical prostatectomy, which was feasible. We conclude that this new technique is feasible with good functional results and acceptable oncological results, which can be shared with the patients.
