Recent technical advances have made new minimally invasive techniques possible to treat large volume (>80 ml) benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The endoscopic transperitoneal adenomectomy of the prostate (ETAP) is a new minimally invasive technique developed in our centre. The aim of this study was to describe the safety, efficacy and to evaluate our learning curve in ETAP.
