A prospective study monitoring the decrease of the PSA levels in relation to the volume of the prostate removed and to the duration of the surgical intervention. A correlation was found between a complication-free procedure and a quick PSA decrease down to zero levels. On the contrary a prolonged surgical procedure can be followed by a slow gradual decrease of the postoperative PSA levels. The prognostic value of this slow decrease will be explored during additional observations.
