Single-Port Transvesical Simple Prostatectomy in Tampa

A Minimally Invasive Option for Large Prostates

Single-port transvesical simple prostatectomy is an emerging minimally invasive surgical option for the management of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with significantly enlarged prostates, typically those over 100 grams. This approach offers several potential benefits by sparing the peritoneal cavity and requiring minimal dissection of the bladder, while providing excellent visualization of the prostatic fossa.

Advantages

  • Same-day discharge in many cases, supporting quicker recovery
  • Reduced intraoperative bleeding
  • Decreased postoperative pain and lower narcotic requirements
  • Single incision approach that avoids traversing the abdominal cavity
  • Simultaneous management of coexisting bladder pathology, such as bladder stones or diverticula

This technique is a promising alternative for appropriately selected patients and may enhance surgical outcomes while minimizing recovery time and postoperative morbidity.
