Prospective multicentre randomized study to compare holmium laser enucleation of prostate and laparoscopic/robot-assisted simple prostatectomy in high volume prostate glands (≥120 ml)

The aim of this prospective randomized study is tocompare the perioperative and functional results between laparo-scopic and robot-assisted simple prostatectomy sec. Millin (LSP andRASP) and Holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP) in prostatevolumes≥120 ml. The primary endpoint will be to investigatewhether the prostate gland volume may influence perioperative andfunctional outcomes, and the secondary endpoint will evaluate thefrequency and type of postoperative complications according toClavien Dindo classification

Urethra and ejaculation preserving robot-assisted simple prostatectomy. near-infrared fluorescence imaging-guided Madigan technique

Background: With the increasing adoption of novel technologies and anatomical techniques, surgical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) provides significant benefits in terms of obstruction relief, early urethral catheter removal, and faster return to daily activities. However, the main pitfall of BPH surgery in sexually active men remains ejaculatory dysfunction (EjD), which permanently affects quality of life.
