Abstract

An understanding of the gross anatomic relationship of the prostate to other structures within the male pelvis is of great medical importance. Because benign prostatic hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma of the prostate are common conditions of aging men, a clear understanding of the anatomic relationships among the prostate, seminal vesicles, and bladder is important for developing the concepts necessary to understand the clinical aspects and management of early stage prostate cancer.
