Gross Anatomy of Prostate - Radical Prostatectomy for Cancer - Pathology Education

Master the gross anatomy and pathology of Radical Prostatectomy for prostate cancer specimens in this in-depth educational video. Designed for medical students, pathology residents, and pathologist's assistants, this resource focuses on the dissection, orientation, and preparation of prostate gland specimens removed for prostate cancer.

We cover key anatomical landmarks such as the seminal vesicles, prostate capsule, and surgical margins, highlighting how to identify tumor involvement and critical pathological findings. Learn proper grossing techniques to prepare specimens for histological examination and ensure accurate diagnostic results. We teach you how to have an organized approach to dissection and sampling. We then review prostate anatomy and pT staging for prostatic adenocarcinomas.

This video is an essential guide for those pursuing careers in surgical pathology or anatomy education. Enhance your understanding of prostate cancer pathology and improve your specimen handling skills with this detailed walkthrough!
