Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Randomized controlled trial with one-year follow-up comparing intra, peri and postoperative outcomes for plasmakinetic transurethral resection of prostate (PK-TURP) and monopolar transurethral resection of prostate (M-TURP) in the treatment of LUTS due to BPH in a tertiary-care public institution

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study is a randomized controlled trial with one-year follow-up comparing intra, peri and postoperative outcomes (efficacy, complications and sequelae) for plasmakinetic transurethral resection of prostate (PK-TURP) and monopolar transurethral resection of prostate (M-TURP) in the treatment of LUTS due to BPH in a tertiary-care public institution (Madrid, Spain)

M-TURP

The M-TURP procedure requires the use of a resectoscope (Olympus or Storz, 26Ch), camera system and irrigation fluid (Glycine 1.5%, Baxter). The system consists of a generator unit (ForceTriadTM, Medtronic) and a stainless steel loop with an electrical current running through the loop used to cut (120W) prostate tissue and cauterize (80W). Prostate tissue is cut away in small pieces and removed at the end of the procedure using an Ellik evacuator

PK-TURP

The PK-TURP procedure requires the use of a resectoscope (Storz, 26Ch), camera system and irrigation fluid (NaCl 0.9%, Baxter). The system consists of a generator unit (PlasmaKineticTM Superpulse de Gyrus, ACMI) and a platinum-iridium superloop with an electrical current running through the loop used to cut (180W) prostate tissue and cauterize (100W). Prostate tissue is cut away in small pieces and removed at the end of the procedure using an Ellik evacuator
