Summary— Using Sushruta's lateral perineal approach, 54 prostatectomies were carried out between August 1985 and March 1986. This approach to the prostate is short, safe, simple and direct. The same approach has been used in 6 patients with ruptured posterior urethras and found to provide a simple access to the urethra.
