Show Messenger-Enterpris- New prostate cancer surgery .developed A new procedure offers additional hope for men who undergo prostate cancer surgery, according to Dr. Ned L. Mangelson, chairman of the LDS Hospital Division of Urology. The development is particularly noteworthy for men living in Utah, the physician says. Government studies show prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer affecting men who live along the Wasatch Front. This differs from national averages which show lung and colon cancer as the two most common kinds of cancer in men. "Were not sure One of the biggest problems we encounter in combating this disease is that the cancer isnt associated with any obvious sympton, Dr. Mangelson says. "Thats why its so important for men who are more than 40 years old to be examined by their physician at least once a year. The earlier we detect a problem, the better the patients chances are to survive. The other major difficulty in overcoming prostate cancer is the reluctance of many victims to undergo the preferred surgical treatment complete removal of the diseased gland. The prostate is a small gland which produces seminal fluid and surrounds the urinary tube at the base of the bladder. why prostate cancer occurs so often in our area. Thats something the Utah Tumor Registry is investigating," he adds. The registry is also trying to determine whether the disease is affecting younger patients. interfere with sexual function. Until now, however, almost all men who have undergone radical removal of the prostate gland for cancer have experienced varying degrees , of impotence. New research has shown how this problem can be avoided. "We now know exactly where the nerves which control a mans sexual function lie in the pelvic area, explains Dr. Mangelson. The key to avoiding post-operati- im- potence is for the surgeon to be aware of where these nerves are so he can avoid damaging them. Research performed over the past two years by Dr. Patrick C. Walsh, chairman of the Department of Urology at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, has pinpointed the location of these nerves.

A short time later, a patient of Dr. Mangelson's who suffered from prostate cancer inquired about the new technique. The physician referred the patient to Dr. Walsh in Baltimore, who performed the surgery last fall. Dr. Mangelson accompanied the patient to the Maryland hospital to learn the procedure. "Unlike every other patient Ive had who had his total prostate gland removed, this man retained his sexual potency. Im convinced this technique will become the treatment of choice for men undergoing this notes Dr. Mangelson, operation, who has since performed the surgery on several other patients.
