Term
| Vas Deferens/Ductus Deferens/Seminal Duct |
|
Definition
| Duct carrying the sperm from the epididymis to teh urethra. The spermatic cord encloses each as deferens with nerves, ;lymphatics, arteries, and veins. (The urethra also connects with the urinary bladder and carries urine outside the body. A circular muscle constricts during intercourse to prevent urination.) |

| Radical Prostatectomy (RP) |
|
Definition
| Excision of the prostate gland with its capsule, seminal vesicles, vas deferens, and sometimes pelvic lymph nodes; performed by a retropubic or perineal approach, or laparoscopically; used to treat prostate cancer. |
|

Term
|
Definition
| Excision of the prostate gland through an abdominal incision made above the pubic bone and through an incision in the bladder; used to treat benign prostate hyperplasia and prostate cancer (also called suprapubic transvesical prostatectomy). |
|
|
Term
| Transurethral incision of the prostate gland (TUIP) |
|
Definition
| A surgical procedure that widens the urethra by making a few small incisions in the bladder neck and the prostate gland. No prostate tissue is removed. TUIP may be used in stead of TURP when the prostate gland is less enlarged. |
|
|
Term
| Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) |
|
Definition
| A blood test that measures the level of prostate-specific antigen in the blood. Elevated test results may indicate the presence of prostate cancer or excess prostate tissue, as found in the benign prostatic hyperplasia. |
