Abstract
The case of a robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in a patient with a 143-gram prostate with a large median lobe is reported. The aim of the study was to delineate the difficulties and concern when confronted with such a situation. The technical difficulties, possible preventive methods, correction and management are discussed briefly with the hope of aiding urologists when performing radical prostatectomy in patients with large median lobe prostates.
