“…Operative time was significantly longer in the laparoscopic simple prostatectomy but the duration of catheterization, postoperative morphine requirement, and hospital stay were all significantly lower in the laparoscopic group. Despite the longer operative time, the laparoscopic simple prostatectomy offers not only these documented clinical advantages but also allows for simultaneous minimally invasive procedures such as laparoscopic hernioplasty [45].…”

Minimally invasive approaches for the treatment of symptomatic benign giant prostatic hyperplasia are replacing open surgery, which has been the gold standard for the surgical treatment of this pathology, duplicating its results with a lower morbidity. Recently we have seen a growing amount of experience treating this disease state with laparoscopic/robotics and the advantages it provides may permit the popularization of this technique.

“…Several manuscripts report that probably here is the greatest benefit of the laparoscopic approach: current evidence suggests that laparoscopic adenomectomy, when compared with the open approach, shows a significant advantage in terms of blood loss [5], probably due to the magnified view and gas pressure that, by acting in a closed space, limits venous bleeds. The complication rate is also acceptable [6] and postoperative pain seems to be lower (due to the absence of retractor use) [7]. Consequently, the safety requirement is satisfied and the complication profile is respected.…”
