AB050. Laparoscopic transperitoneal enucleation of the prostate for benigh prostatic hyperplasia >80 mL

AB051. Technical improvement of HoLEP and prevention strategies of postoperative incontinence

Background: Most laparoscopic enucleation of the prostate (LEP) procedures are performed via the extraperitoneal approach for large benign prostatic hyperplasia (prostate volume >80 mL). Therefore, we evaluate the feasibility of LEP via the transperitoneal approach with a 2-year follow-up. Methods: LEP was performed on seven patients from December 2010 to July 2012. Surgery on all patients was ...

Laparoscopic adenomectomy in BPH – Does it have a role today?

Symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is managed medically worldwide, but transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) is the gold standard in refractory cases. Holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP), laser vaporization are other options which are widely practiced. However in larger glands which are more than 80 g, open adenomectomy is still practiced. Laparoscopic adenomectomy is...

Efficacy and safety of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate for extremely large prostatic adenoma in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) for extremely large prostates. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients undergoing HoLEP between July 2008 and December 2013 from the Seoul National University Hospital Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Database Registry were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into three groups according to thei...

Bipolar transurethral enucleation of prostate versus photoselective vaporization for symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (>70 ml)

[Comparative study between laparoscopic extraperitoneal and open adenomectomy].

OBJECTIVES In spite of the development of endoscopic techniques, open adenomectomy continues to be the treatment of choice for large adenomas. Laparoscopic and robotic adenomectomy provides good results in specialized centers. The experience acquired with laparoscopic extraperitoneal adenomectomy (LEA) in a regional center is presented to evaluate its results and compare them prospectively with...
