Abstract

Surgical treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has seen an evolution during the last decades. On one hand, en-bloc HoLEP emerged as a valid endoscopic treatment regardless prostate size. On the other hand, robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) has gained attention in larger prostates showing encouraging results. Herein, for the first time in the scientific scenario, we sought to compare the outcomes of RASP and en-bloc HoLEP cases after propensity-score matching (PSM) analysis.
