Abstract

The open retropubic prostatectomy was mentioned in an editorial section in Vol. 38 No. 4 (2015): October-December of Rama Med J. This surgical procedure is most often used to remove the prostate cancer. However, the minimally invasive surgical techniques were developed and played a crucial role in general surgery. The section was published in Thai language.
