Effects comparison of transurethral bipolar vaporization of prostate and transurethral resection of the prostate on benign prostatic hyperplasia

Objective:To compare the feasibility and safety of transurethral bipolar vaporization of prostate(TUPKRP) and transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP) on benign prostatic hyperplasia.Methods: A total of 87 patients with benign prostate hyperplasia were randomly divided into TUPKRP group(n=45) and TURP group(n=37) which sepeartely underwent TUPKRP and TURP methods.Blood loss volume,length of hospital stay,washing time,time needed indwelling catheter,IPSS,QOL,Qmax,PVR as well as incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results: TUPKRP group showed significant less blood loss,shorter time needed indwelling catheter and hospital stay than the TURP group(P0.05).But the two groups showed no significant difference in operation time(P0.05).A 6 month follow up showed both groups showed significant improvements in IPSS、QOL、Qmaxand PVR after undergoing surgery(P0.05),but no significant difference was observed between the two groups(P0.05).TURP group showed significant higher incidence of complications comparing with TUPKRP group(P0.05).Conclusions: Both methods were therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia,but TUPKRP shows advantages of lower complication incidence,shorter recovery time and higher safety.
