Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Urinary symptoms measured by International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) score
Change in total scores in International Prostate Symptom Score (ranges from 0 to 35) questionnaires. The higher score, the more worse symptom
Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 month
Change in urodynamic in uroflowmetry
Change in urodynamic function assessed by uroflowmetry
Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 month
Secondary Outcomes (12)
Operation Time
Intra-operation
Need of post operative irrigation
Peri-operative period
Catheter time
1 month, 3 month, 6 month, 12 month
Hospital stay
Peri-operative period
Transfusion rate
1 month
- +7 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (1)
Blue light laser Arm
EXPERIMENTAL450nm center wavelength blue diode 200W laser is employed for the surgical procedure
Interventions
All procedures would be performed under spinal or general anaesthesia. Blue diode laser vaporization would be performed according to the standard approach for the obstructing prostate
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Male ≥ 50 years
- Symptomatic BPH
You may not qualify if:
- Additional procedure is needed e.g. cystolithotripsy, orchidectomy etc2. Known Ca prostate patients
- Patients with history of TURP
- Known Urethral stricture / Bladder stone / Hypercontractile bladder
- Known neurological diseases which may affect bladder function (e.g. Parkinsonism, stroke) 6. Contraindicated to undergo TURP (e.g. not fit for GA/SA, active urinary tract infection, fail to be placed in lithotomy position, uncorrectable coagulopathy, antiplatelet or anticoagulant which cannot be stopped)
