Extraperitoneal laparoscopic Millin prostatectomy using finger enucleation
Purpose: We evaluated the feasibilty, safety and results of extraperitoneal laparoscopic Millin prostatectomy using finger enucleation through an additional 1 cm suprapubic incision. Materials and Methods: A total of 66 consecutive laparoscopic simple prostatectomies were performed with this technique in men with symptomatic bladder outflow obstruction and a prostate gland larger than 70 cc on transrectal ultrasound. Data such as operating time, intraoperative blood loss, transfusion rate, complications, catheterization period, hospitalization time and surgical specimen weight were prospectively collected and evaluated. Preoperative and 3-month postoperative International Prostate Symptom Score and urinary flow rates were used to assess the surgical outcome. Results: Average operating time was 55 minutes with a mean estimated blood loss of 200 ml. No blood transfusion was necessary, and no conversion, complications or mortality was present. The mean postoperative catheterization period was 7.3 days with a mean hospital stay of 5.2 days. Mean enucleated tissue weight was 85.5 gm. At 3 months postoperatively the International Prostate Symptom Score improved to a mean of 5.8 (from a mean preoperative score of 29.5) while maximum urine flow improved to a mean of 18.5 ml per second (from a mean preoperative rate of 5.8 ml per second). Conclusions: This procedure is safe and fast with excellent functional outcomes. However, prolonged catheterization and hospitalization are still required. © 2011 American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc
