In 1945, Terence John Millin perfected retropubic surgery for prostate adenomectomy for benign prostatic hyperplasia. He developed the transcervicocapsular approach and it turned out to be an innovative approach without the need to involve the bladder with unnecessary incisions that increased morbidity and postoperative complications. It is one of the preferred techniques when performing open adenomectomy for hyperplasia or benign prostatic growth.

In 1947 Terence Millin performed the first radical retropubic prostatectomy for prostate cancer in urological practice.
