Abstract

Purpose

The present study introduces a modified surgical procedure, extraperitoneal laparoscopic simple prostatectomy (LSP) with urethra preservation using urethral initiation as the entry point, and evaluates its feasibility, safety, and efficacy in the treatment of benign prostatic obstruction (BPO).

Materials and methods

A total of 50 patients with BPO underwent modified LSP from January 2018 to December 2020. The main surgical procedures performed were as follows: transversely incision of prostate surgical capsule at the urethral initiation; creating of the subcapsular plane and the space between urethra and adenoma; removal of lobes with preservation of urethra followed by suturing of capsule. Preoperative, perioperative, follow-up parameters, and complications were recorded and analyzed.

Results

Operative time was (106.34 ± 28.00) min and intraoperative blood loss was (98.80 ± 130.58) ml. Continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) was not performed routinely, catheterization duration was (5.26 ± 2.99) days, and postoperative hospital stay was (5.42 ± 1.62) days. Significant improvements were observed in functional outcomes, whereas no retrograde ejaculation, urinary incontinence, and urethral stricture occurred. Urethral rupture was not significantly influenced by operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and prostate volume. However, it prolonged CBI duration, drainage tube retention time, catheterization duration, and postoperative hospital stay. Operative time decreased with an increase in the number of cases, and the surgeon achieved proficiency level after handling 21–25 cases.

Conclusion

Extraperitoneal LSP with urethra preservation using urethral initiation as the entry point is a feasible, repeatable, safe, and effective surgical procedure, which is suitable for treating BPO.
