Blunt dissection was used to separate the peritoneum from the retroperitoneum and expose the pre-pubic space of Retzius.
During the dissection to expose the bladder a vasectomy may be performed. The bladder mucosa over the prostate is removed by excision to expose the prostate. The gland is removed by "shelling it out" by blunt dissection with the surgeon's index finger.
A second catheter is placed and left in the bladder through the incision in the lower abdomen. A rubber drain is placed between the pubic bone and the bladder and brought out through a separate stab wound. The dissected tissues and the skin incision are closed in layers by suturing. vs.
