MP29-01 MULTI-INSTITUTIONAL STUDY OF ROBOTIC BUCCAL MUCOSA GRAFT URETEROPLASTY: INITAL RESULTS

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Enucleation of the prostate has been found to be an effective treatment for bladder outlet obstruction. Traditional techniques, such as the HOLEP, require specialized equipment and training that are not widespread amongst Urologists. Bipolar enucleation has recently been reported as a new method of prostate surgery but the nuances of the surgery are not yet well known. METHODS: We present our technique using common endoscopic equipment in video format with early post-operative outcome data. RESULTS: N1⁄413 patients. Mean prostate size, operative time, and EBL were 61.2 grams, 111 minutes, and 62.5mL, respectively. Mean hospital stay was 1.08 days. Pre-operative and six week postoperative parameters shown in Table 1 below. CONCLUSIONS: Transurethral Bipolar Enucleation (TuBE) is likely an effective procedure that can be accomplished with basic endoscopic equipment.
