The En-bloc MoLEP with early apical release technique has many advantages over the traditional 3 lobe HoLEP technique. Those provided by the Moses technology are better cutting and excellent hemostasis, ideal for this approach.
Clinical Background
1. Initially, the mucosa is scored circumferentially to demarcate the external sphincter and prostate apex
2. The fibers attaching the sphincter to the apex are cut from 3 to 9 o'clock
3. Mechanical localization of the plane at the apex bilaterally is then carried out
4. The connection of these planes is achieved by cutting the veru frenulum
5. Dissection of the posterior plane is then performed defining a clear line of attack
6. Attention is then paid to the anterior apex: the white line is deepened by 5 mm, cutting into the prostatic apex, and that allows for a safe anterior apical liberation following the anatomic plane
7. After the sphincter is fully released, the line of attack is followed circumferentially until the bladder neck is reached, incised also circumferentially
8. The adenoma is then flipped into the bladder for later morcellation
Technique Description
Development of the Moses technology
Improvement in morcellation speed
En-bloc approach with early apical release makes this operation easy to learn, very fast and extremely safe, and prevents early postoperative incontinence

Elevated cholesterol levels, on atorvastatin and metformin
Bothersome LUTS despite treatment with dutasteride + tamsulosin
Previous acute retention of urine
In ultrasound, the prostate volume was 95 cc
Flow rate 6.2 mL/second with a prolonged pattern
PSA 0.68 ng/mL
