Abstract

Although the idea of transurethral radical prostatectomy has been studied by others previously (Kavoussi et al.); this report of 2 patients with localized prostate cancer with negative margins using this novel NOTES approach may have been possible due to the great experience of the authors with laser prostate enucleation and new instrumentation for suturing endoscopically.
