Summary
Single-port extraperitoneal transvesical adenomectomy offers a feasible approach for managing large benign prostatic hyperplasia. This minimally invasive technique demonstrates excellent cosmetic outcomes and low complication rates.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
- Surgical Techniques
Background:
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) management.
- Laparoscopic extraperitoneal adenomectomy is an established procedure.
- Need for refined surgical approaches for large-volume BPH.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the technique of single-port extraperitoneal transvesical adenomectomy.
- To present initial operative experience with this novel approach.
- Evaluate feasibility and outcomes for large BPH.
Main Methods:
- Single-port extraperitoneal transvesical adenomectomy performed on three patients.
- Umbilical incision for extraperitoneal space preparation and port insertion.
- Standard laparoscopic steps adapted for single-port transvesical approach.
Main Results:
- All procedures completed successfully without conversion.
- Average operative time: 105 minutes.
- Average blood loss: 190 ml, with 4-day hospital stay and 6-day catheter duration.
- No intraoperative or postoperative complications reported.
Conclusions:
- Single-port extraperitoneal transvesical adenomectomy is a viable option for large BPH.
- The technique provides excellent cosmetic results.
- Minimal morbidity associated with the procedure.
