ABSTRACT
Despite improved screening methods and earlier detection of prostate carcinoma, the complications of locally advanced disease remain a challenge for urologists. The spectrum of possible complications includes subvesical obstruction, hydronephrosis, hematuria, pain, and local invasion of adjacent organs. Urinary diversion, palliative transurethral resection of the prostate, and endoscopic diathermy are classic procedures. Urethral stenting, laser evaporation, and selective arterial embolization are alternate approaches for treating these complex cases. Cystoprostatectomy and pelvic exenteration are ultimate options for patients with chronic pain and debilitating local symptoms.
