NCT05416606

Brief Summary

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.

Model Details: 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.
