This study introduces a minimally invasive surgical technique for radical prostatectomy using a single incision. The novel approach demonstrates feasibility and safety, offering advantages in reduced invasiveness compared to conventional methods.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Radical prostatectomy is a standard treatment for prostate cancer.
  • Conventional laparoscopic techniques offer benefits but can be complex.
  • Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) aims to further reduce invasiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present and evaluate a novel single-incision laparoscopic extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy technique.
  • To compare the outcomes of this new technique with conventional laparoscopic methods.

Main Methods:

  • A single 2.5 cm incision below the navel was used for the procedure.
  • A novel SILS-port with three channels facilitated instrument and camera placement.
  • Outcomes were assessed surgically, oncologically, and functionally.

Published on: June 13, 2025

  • Ten patients using the SILS technique were compared to ten patients using conventional laparoscopic extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy.

    • Main Results:

    • The single-incision technique showed no substantial differences in surgical, oncological, or functional outcomes compared to the conventional method.
    • A slight increase in operative time was observed initially with the new technique.
    • The SILS approach proved feasible and safe.

    Conclusions:

    • Single-incision laparoscopic extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy is a feasible and safe technique.
    • The method offers clear advantages in terms of mini-invasiveness.
    • This approach represents a promising advancement in minimally invasive urological surgery.
