Abstract
Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted techniques are now established in the surgical treatment of prostate cancer. The use of these new technologies in the area of benign prostatic disease is surprisingly recent. Where endoscopic resection is precluded because of large volume gland enlargement, open prostatectomy is still a preferred method. Holmium laser enucleation and transurethral electroresection-enucleation are other modalities that are in use in selected centers. This review is to evaluate the current position of laparoscopic and robotassisted simple prostatectomy, explore advantages and disadvantages and assess the impact of these technologies in the future management of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
