Previously performed as an open surgery with a larger incision, a robot-assisted simple prostatectomy allows the surgeon to more precisely remove the inner part of the prostate, a procedure called enucleation, while allowing the outside of the prostate to remain.

Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Simple Prostatectomy (RASP) What is RASP? It is an operation to surgically enucleate and remove the excessive centralized tissue that is causing urinary blockage through the prostate gland. The outside portion of the prostate gland remains intact. Access to the prostate is through the back wall of the

The Robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) performed by Dr. Bevan-Thomas is an effective solution for men with significantly enlarged prostates who suffer from BPH issues.
