RESUMO
The operative aspect of radical prostatectomy has changed dramatically in the past 200 years as significant technological advances have been made, particularly during the past 50 years. The work of Dr. Walsh in the late 1970âs and early 1980âs led to a significant reduction in surgical morbidity and is considered an important milestone of radical prostatectomy, as is the introduction of minimally-invasive (robotic-assisted) surgical techniques. Yet there is no absolute gold standard regarding surgical approaches. Innovative tools, e.âg. the addition of "augmented reality", are currently under investigation. This review article for the anniversary issue of "Der Urologe" aims to cover the milestones of the evolution of this "signature" surgery in the field of urology.

A cremated pelvis dating from the first century A.D. showed evidence of osteosclerotic metastasis, presumably secondary to prostate carcinoma. The case demonstrates the importance of microradiography in palaeopathology as well as some of the structural changes seen in cremated bone.
