ABSTRACT = {<b>Introduction and objective:</b> Cost containment during techniques of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy remains an ongoing concern. We present a cost-effective alternative technique of specimen extraction using a surgical glove.<br/>
<b>Materials and methods:</b> We describe an alternative technique of prostate removal using a surgical glove in seven patients who underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy using a robotic-assisted technique.<br/>
<b>Results:</b> The glove extraction technique was successful in all seven patients for which the method was attempted without complication.<br/>
<b>Conclusion:</b> Similar to commercially available devices, a surgical glove provides a reliable straightforward means of specimen extraction during laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.},
