Positive Surgical Excision Margins of a Basal Cell Carcinoma
Dermatologic Surgery, 1998This case illustrates two strongly and diametrically opposed options advocated in the literature for dealing with positive surgical margins. The best plan is to individualize the decision-making process based on the available variables (histology, location of positive margins), the patient's age and health, and a "guided," but informed decision by the ...

Impact of positive surgical margins after radical prostatectomy
Urology, 2006p s s s T m m w a o adical prostatectomy provides excellent longterm survival for patients with clinically loalized prostate cancer. A significant number of atients, however, will ultimately have disease reurrence after surgery.1 Biochemical recurrence oes not ultimately guarantee significant metastatic isease and/or death, but for the vast majority of

Positive surgical margins after partial nephrectomy
Nature Reviews Urology, 2010Small renal tumors are generally managed by partial nephrectomy; however, positive surgical margins are occasionally found on final pathologic examination. Growing evidence suggests that the presence of positive margins does not adversely affect outcomes; these patients can potentially be managed expectantly with close follow-up without compromising ...

To identify predictive factors for multifocal positive surgical margins (PSM) in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and the impact of prostate volume (PV) on the locations of PSMs.A total of 440 patients who underwent RARP between 2021 and 2024 were retrospectively evaluated.

We sought to determine whether recent surgical modifications in the technique of radical retropubic prostatectomy decrease the incidence of positive surgical margins.We reviewed the records of 144 consecutive patients a mean of 60.8 years old who underwent radical retropubic prostatectomy using a modified surgical technique.

Journal of Urology, 2005
The prognostic significance of positive surgical margins (PSM) in radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens remains unclear. While most studies have concluded that a PSM is an independent adverse prognostic factor, others report that surgical margin status has no effect on prognosis.

Positive Surgical Margins After Radical Prostatectomy: Does It Matter?
European Urology, 2014After decades of study, it remains difficult to accurately quantify the incidence or prevalence of positive surgical margins (PSMs) after radical prostatectomy (RP). Reported percentages of PSMs vary greatly (range: 1% to 50%) depending on whether the prostate cancer (PCa) was organ confined (pT2) or not (pT3+) [1]. This is due to amultitude of factors

New intraoperative brachytherapy techniques for positive or close surgical margins
Journal of Surgical Oncology, 1989AbstractTumors attached or adjacent to critical structures can often not be completely resected or resected with adequate surgical margins. Sites involving major blood vessels, the paravertebral spaces, or critical abdominal structures often present technical difficulties for standard brachytherapy procedures using 1‐125 or Ir‐192 implants.

Positive surgical margins: The argument for androgen deprivation and chemotherapy
Urologic Oncology: Seminars and Original Investigations, 2009Management of patients with positive surgical margins after radical prostatectomy is a complex and debatable issue. It is clear, however, that many of these patients have high-risk disease characteristics. Because of a significant risk of relapse, patients with positive surgical margins and high-risk disease characteristics should be offered the option

Positive Surgical Margins at Radical Prostatectomy: Importance of the Apical Dissection
Journal of Urology, 1990Positive margins were analyzed in 189 clinical stage B radical retropubic prostatectomies. Margins were identified by serially blocking the entire specimens in planes selected for optimum demonstration of capsule surface. Positive margins were divided into 2 categories: 1) those associated with capsular penetration of cancer and 2) those caused by ...
