Abstract

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a pathological process that contributes to, but is not the sole cause of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) instead age-related detrusor changes and other common medical conditions are the causative factor in many cases. Despite this, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is still a significant cause of LUTS. The options for management are variable and include watchful waiting, medical therapy, and surgical intervention. Simple robotic prostatectomy was used as the treatment procedure of choice for the patient in this report since he has a large prostate, and according to the AUA and EAU guidelines, surgical management with prostatectomy is the gold standard for such cases. The benefits of using such a technique include precise removal of the prostate gland, minimal blood loss, a smaller opening, less pain, short stay in the hospital, and a reduced requirement for blood transfusion. In the end, it was one of the preferred methods to be utilized for prostate surgery.
