Single-port transvesical robot-assisted simple prostatectomy with total urethral preservation for patients unable to adopt the lithotomy position: A case report
Abstract
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prevalent in the aging male population, presented a unique surgical challenge in a 58-year-old patient with a history of multiple pelvic and hip surgeries, precluding conventional lithotomy and transurethral approaches. This report introduces an innovative, single-port transvesical robot-assisted simple prostatectomy with total urethral preservation. This pioneering technique, tailored for complex BPH management, demonstrated its efficacy and potential through favorable postoperative outcomes. This report underscores single-port transvesical robot-assisted simple prostatectomy with total urethral preservation as a promising surgical option for patients with BPH who are unable to assume the lithotomy position.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
