Brief Summary

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

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a frequent disease in aging men accompanied by bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). Open prostatectomy (OP) is still considered the first-line treatment for more than 80 ml prostate size. In this study, a mixed technique called transurethral bipolar enucleation and resection of the prostate (TBERP) was compared to the standard open prostatectomy.

Detailed Description

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

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a frequent disease in aging men accompanied by bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). Open prostatectomy (OP) is still considered the first-line treatment for more than 80 ml prostate size. In this study, a mixed technique called transurethral bipolar enucleation and resection of the prostate (TBERP) was compared to the standard open prostatectomy.

This is a Comparative, Prospective Study conducted on men over 50 years.The patients were randomly distributed into two groups treated by TBERP and OP. Patients were evaluated preoperatively and at 1-week post catheter removal and 1-3-months postoperatively in terms of blood loss, operation time, the weight of resected prostatic tissues, post-operative catheterisation period, hospital stay, IPSS, PVR, prostate volume, early complications (recatheterization, urine retention, UTI and irritative symptoms) and late complications (urinary incontinence, urethral stricture and bladder neck contracture).

Study Design

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

In this study, a hybrid technique, that combines two types of techniques using the same cutting current and technological setup, will be proposed enucleation of the prostate gland with the plasma vaporization electrode and resection with a TURis cutting loop. This technique is defined as transurethral vapor enucleation and resection of the prostate (TVERP) comparing it with open prostatectomy.
