Methods: Descriptive retrospective study over 6 years, involves patients who underwent radical prostatectomy in the urology andrology department of the Sylvanus Olympio University Hospital in Lomé. Results: In 6 years, 24 radical prostatectomies were performed on 209 patients with prostate cancer (prevalence 12.92%). The average age of the patients was 63.8 ± 4.2 years. The average PSA rate was 27.9 ± 21.2 ng/ml. 58.3% were at high risk for d’Amico. The retropubic route with ilio-obturator lymph node dissection was the technique used for all patients. 80.9% of patients were continent and 33.3% had a satisfactory erection 12 months after the surgery. Recurrence-free survival at 1 year was 62.5% and 3 deaths or 12.5% were recorded in the first year in high-risk patients. Conclusion: Radical prostatectomy maintains its place of choice in the treatment of localized or locally advanced prostate cancer. It improves recurrence-free survival.
