Surgical management of large prostate glands has greatly improved over the last years. Even if open adenomectomy is indicated for prostate glands > 80 ml, TURP is currently the gold standard. We report the resection time of TURP procedure, quality of life of the patients, the postoperative complications and outcomes of 152 patients with large prostate glands who went under Bipolar TURP from 2021 to 2022. Patients and Methods: This is a prospective and evaluative study of 152 patients who underwent surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) from January 2021 to December 2022 using bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The study variables were age, low urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), paraclinical parameters, prostate volume, resection time, length of hospital stay, results of histopathological analysis of resected tissues (prostate chips), complications and postoperative outcomes of the patients. All the patients underwent saline bipolar TURP. Results: The mean age of the patients was 66.5 ± 9.3 years. Dysuria and acute urinary retention were the most predominant symptoms, 46.1% and 23.03% respectively. Arterial hypertension was the most common medical history (29.7%), or associated with diabetes mellitus (18.4%). The most frequent surgical history was the repair of the inguinal hernia in 21.7% of cases. Most of the patients had a prostate volume ≥ 80 ml (n = 91) in a relative frequency of 60% of cases. The mean prostate volume was 104.8 ± 60.4 ml. The volume of the prostate was correlated with the age of the patients (r = 0.321;p 15 ml/s (96%) postoperatively. The post-void residual (PVR) was significant in the group of patients with prostate volume ≥ 80 ml (p Conclusion: Although conventional surgery (open adenomectomy) has been a standard treatment for large prostate adenomas, progress in minimally invasive techniques, mainly Bipolar TURP, seems to confer more advantages such as the low rate of complications, reduced length of hospital stay and improved quality of life for the patients.展开更多

Long-term follow-up of the clinical effect of bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (B-TURP) in saline for BPH is required. Objective: To compare, with long term follow-up, the efficacy and safety of B-TURP in the treatment of BPH with prostate gland volumes of 45 ml, and larger than 60 ml. Materials and Methods: From January 2006 to December 2016, 318 patients with a mean age of 69.45 ± 8.37 years and a median prostate volume of 42 cm3 (56.51 - 32.47) were treated with B-TURP by single urologist (SP) at the Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University. We retrospectively analyzed the perioperative status of patients’ status follow-up for at least 6 months and up to 5 years. Post-void residual (PVR) and maximum flow rate (Qmax) were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively. Operative time, length of catheterization and hospitalization and complications were all reported. Results: The main indication for B-TURP was failure of medication (81.13%). Perioperative results showed no statistical significance among the groups in terms of catheterization days and the hospitalization length. During the follow-up, the improvement of postoperative parameters was compared with preoperative subscales, at different periods from baseline and after 24, 36, 48, and 60 months post treatment. PSA, Q max, PVR, and average flow rate were significantly different from pre-operation data (p Conclusion: With long-term follow-up, B-TURP is a safe and effective technique for BPH management with prostate gland 45 ml and larger than 60 ml.展开更多

The Bipolar TURP carries some advantages of HoLEP like use of normal saline which allows resection for longer period of time. Additionally, there is less learning curve for bipolar TURP. We have conducted a prospective and retrospective observational study to compare and evaluate HoLEP and Bipolar TURP with respect to efficacy and surgical outcomes in our tertiary care hospital. Materials and methods: We have done a prospective and retrospective, comparative study from June 2012 to May 2014 on 200 Patients with BPH planned for surgery (fulfilling eligibility criteria), 100 in each group (HoLEP and Bipolar TURP). Results: We found that both techniques, HoLEP and Bipolar TURP, are safe and effective for treating patients with symptomatic BPH with similar functional outcomes and near similar complication rates. Conclusion: Bipolar TURP is very much comparable to HoLEP in term of efficacy and surgical outcomes. Larger multicentric studies with longer follow up data will be needed to further substantiate these findings.展开更多
