Trans-rectovesical pouch urethral-sparing robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy: A case series.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To detail a novel technique of robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy that makes handling the gland protruding into the bladder neck easier and can preserve the urethra and retain ejaculation function as much as possible.

Patients and methods

This is a prospective case series. Clinical data of 17 male patients who had large volume (>80 mL) benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were enrolled to undergo trans-rectovesical pouch urethral-sparing robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy (usRASP). We adopted the approach through the space between the bladder neck and seminal vesicle to perform a usRASP that can avoid the detrusor skirt and fibrous matrix area of the retropubic prostate. Between the transitional zone and the peripheral zone of the large prostate, the hyperplast
