A Clinical Analysis on Transurethral Plasmakinetic Resection of the Prostate for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of transurethral plasmakinetic resection of the prostate(PKRP) on benign prostatic hyperplasia.Methods A total of 76patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia from February to December 2009were treated with PKRP.The operative duration,therapeutic effect and postoperative complications were observed and recorded.Results The operative duration ranged from 35to 130minutes(average 55minutes).The intraoperative blood loss was 60-150mL,and no one needed transfusion.The prostate gland excised weight was 18-72g.There were no intestinal and bladder perforation,no transurethral resection syndrome(TURS)or obturator nerve reflex occurs,and no urinary incontinence or death.IPSS score was nine and the maximal average uroflow was 16.7mL/s during the 2-6month follow-up.Conclusion PKRP is one of the ideal methods treating benign prostatic hyperplasia,especially for high-risk patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
