Transurethral Resection of Prostate with the Bipolar Plasma Kinetic Technique for Benign Prostate Hyperplasia

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of the plasma kinetic enucleation of the prostate(PKEP)in treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH). Method:80 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)were treated by transurethral enucleation of the prostate. The difference in maximum urinary flow rate(Qmax),bladder residual urine volume(RUV),and the International Prostate Symptom Score(IPSS)was retrospectively compared before and after surgery. Result:80 patients got successful compli cations. Surgery did not appear intraoperative bleeding, obturator nerve injury,urinary incontinence after transurethral resection complications syndrome(TURS). Followed up for 3 to 10 months ,with an average of 6.5 months,statistics after one week,one month,three months,IPSS,Qmax,residual urine volume,numerical comparison with the preoperative indicators showed significant improvement. Conclusion:PKEP is effective in treating BPH. It can completely enucleate the hyperplastic tissue with little bleeding in operation. The treatment has the advantages of short catheter time and significant clinical improvements.
