Objective:
We analyze the laparascopic adenomectomy preliminary results and describe the surgical technique, for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), for glands greater than 60cc.
Materials And Methods:
From January to April 2009 we have performed 10 laparoscopic adenomectomies. We performed a descriptive and retrospective study and early postoperative results were analyzed. Descriptive statistical analyses were performed using IPSS 17.0. The surgical technique is described step by step.
Results:
Conversion to open surgery was not required, and none of the patients had serious peri-operative and post-operative complications. None of the ten patients required blood transfusions. Median operating time was 112,5min (80-135). Median hospital stay was 3,5 days (2-5) and median catheterization period was 7 days (3-21). The median prostate enucleated weight was 62gr. (40-93). The median postoperative Qmax was 18,8ml/seg and the median score of IPSS was 5.
Conclusions:
Laparoscopic adenomectomy is a low rate morbidity technique and reproducible in centers with laparoscopic skills. Prospective and comparative studies with open surgery will be necessary to choose the best technique for our patients.
