  Review

  The incidence and management of rectal injury associated with radical prostatectomy in a community based urology practice.

  We assessed the use of combination bowel preparation before radical prostatectomy. ⋯ Combination bowel preparation permits safe closure of rectal injury at radical prostatectomy without the necessity of routine colostomy. In the event of recto-urinary fistula, conservative management is not warranted.

  Comparative Study

  An outcome study of patient-controlled morphine analgesia, with or without ketorolac, following radical retropubic prostatectomy.

  We compared the effects of postoperative pain control strategies on recovery after radical retropubic prostatectomy. ⋯ Pain control with ketorolac affords excellent analgesia while allowing for earlier recovery of bowel function, shorter hospitalization and lower overall costs in patients undergoing radical retropubic prostatectomy.
