Abstract
Results suggest that laparoscopic simple prostatectomy is safe and effective even after a significant period, as indicated by the low complication rate and positive, stable functional results found during followup. In our opinion laparoscopic simple prostatectomy can be offered to patients as a valid treatment option for a large prostate at advanced laparoscopic centers.
