Vlinimally invasive simple prostatectomy for a case ）f giant benign prostatic hyperplasia

Dear Editor, We would like to present a rare case of giant prostatic hyperplasia （GPH）, which is defined as a prostate weight over 200g for Easterners or 500 g for Westerns.： Only 14 cases of GPH exceeding 500 g had been reported in the English literature by 2015 （Supplementary Table 1）. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of removing a GPH exceeding 500 g by using minimally invasive laparoscopic technique.
