Abstract

Open prostatectomy is a long accepted method of treating patients with large hyperplasic glands. New therapeutic options have demonstrated efficiency and safety for high volume benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Minimally invasive laparoscopic and endourological treatments have reproduced similar results to open simple prostatectomy with some clinical advantages. Results indicate that laparoscopic simple prostatectomy is a viable option for the surgical treatment of BPH. Available clinical series evidence that in patients with BPH and formal surgical indication, surgery could be safely and properly performed by a laparoscopic technique. Publications concerning laparoscopic simple prostatectomy (LSP) or laparoscopic adenomectomy are mostly based on non experimental studies, such as comparative studies, correlation studies and case reports. The studies underpinning this current chapter were identified through a systematic research using PubMed. There are no randomized or high levels of evidence studies available for LSP. Our objective is to present the available experience in laparoscopic simple prostatectomy which, in our view, is a reproducible, effective procedure for removal of large prostatic adenomas with overall low perioperative morbidity.
