Traction group

Groups definition

Patients were randomized into two groups, A and B, according to whether traction was used or not while removing the specimen. A traction procedure consists of removing the specimen from a small incision. Nontraction procedures remove the specimen from an incision larger than the prostate, which eases the procedure.
