[Retrograde extraperitoneal laparoscopic prostatectomy (R.E.I.P). Simplified technique (based on a series of 143 cases].

Since the first laparoscopic prostatectomies, performed via an intraperitoneal approach in Bordeaux, France, in November 1997 (Gaston et al.) and then via an extraperitoneal approach in Belgium in September 1999 (BOLLENS et al.), several French (Montsouris and Mondor) and European teams have adopted and amplified these approaches, but much late and more discreetly in the case of the extraperitoneal approach.
