“…The enucleation is more easy assisted by a prostatotome device prostatic adenomectomy assisted by the index finger inserted through the abdominal wall for digital enucleation of the adenoma. This same group then reported their results with this technique in 75 patients [40,41]. Lufuma et al [42] described the finger assisted laparoscopic retropubic technique in 100 patients for the treatment of large adenoma concluding that in the hands of an experienced laparoscopic team, this technique for large BPH is a feasible, reproducible approach with minimal intraoperative hemorrhage (250 ml), a low postoperative complication rate, and a shorter convalescence period than open surgery.…”

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.
