Laparoscopic simple prostatectomy (LSP) is a safe and feasible surgical technique for large prostatic adenomas. This study shows significant symptom improvement in patients after LSP, with minimal complications.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition causing lower urinary tract symptoms.
  • Surgical intervention is often required for large prostatic adenomas.
  • Laparoscopic simple prostatectomy (LSP) offers a minimally invasive approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the surgical technique for laparoscopic simple prostatectomy (LSP) of large prostatic adenomas.
  • To present the initial experience and outcomes of LSP in patients with large prostates.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 11 patients with large prostatic adenomas (>80 ml) undergoing LSP.
  • Data collected included operative time, blood loss, transfusion requirements, and postoperative complications.
  • International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) was assessed preoperatively and at 3-month follow-up.

Main Results:

  • Mean operative time was 99.5 minutes, with mean blood loss of 205 ml.
  • One patient required blood transfusion; no significant postoperative complications were observed.
  • All patients showed a significant decrease in IPSS at 3 months (27.7 to 15.3).

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic simple prostatectomy (LSP) is a feasible and safe procedure for large prostatic adenomas.
  • The technique leads to significant improvement in lower urinary tract symptoms.
  • Further studies with larger cohorts and long-term follow-up are recommended.
