Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The adrenal glands are a large source of estrogens and may stimulate a recurrence or metastasis from prostate or breast cancer. A bilateral adrenalectomy may be performed to reduce the hormonal environment within the body.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
With the patient in extreme or high lithotomy position, dissection occurs between the scrotum and anal sphincter. The rectum is dissected from the posterior surface of the prostate or between the external anal sphincter and the rectum.
