We reviewed our experience with salvage radical prostatectomy for locally recurrent cancer in 40 patients to assess the current complication rate and the results using prostate specific antigen (PSA) as an indicator of treatment outcome and to identify better criteria for the selection of appropriate candidates for this operation. Most recurrent cancers were detected by digital rectal examination (26 patients) or increasing serum PSA levels (10). The operation was technically challenging, with 6 rectal injuries (15%), 2 requiring temporary colostomy. Serious technical complications were more common (31%) among the 29 patients who underwent pelvic lymphadenectomy at the time of initial radiotherapy than among the 11 treated with external irradiation alone (9%). Urinary incontinence persisted in 18 of 31 evaluable patients (58%) and was successfully corrected with an artificial urinary sphincter in 9.A total of 21 patients (54%) had pathologically advanced disease (seminal vesicle invasion and/or lymph node metastases). Preoperative PSA levels but not clinical stage or biopsy grade correlated with pathological stage (p
