Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
The International Prostate Symptom score (IPSS)
Measurement of The International Prostate Symptom score (IPSS) in both groups After 3, 6, 12 months of operation, the questioner is performed. Minimum :0 / Maximum : 35 Total score: 0-7 Mildly symptomatic; 8-19 moderately symptomatic; 20-35 severely symptomatic
Time Frame: for each case in both groups the investigator assess IPSS at 3, 6, 12 after procedures through study completion, an average of 1 year
The Maximum Urinary flow rate (Qmax)
Measurement of The Maximum Urinary flow rate (Qmax) in both groups After 3, 6, 12 months of operation, the procedure is performed. Qmax is measured by (ml/sec) Normal values are described as a Qmax above 15 ml/sec and below 10 ml/sec is considered abnormal
Time Frame: for each case in both groups the investigator assess Qmax at 3, 6, 12 months after procedures through study completion, an average of 1year
The Quality of Life (QoL)
Measurement of The Quality of Life (QoL) in both groups After 3, 6, 12 months of operation, the questioner is performed. Minimum :0 means delighted / Maximum : 5 means unhappy
[Time Frame: for each case in both groups the investigator assess QoL at 3, 6, 12 months after procedures through study completion, an average of 1 year
The Prostate size
the prostate size was measured by grams by Trans-rectal ultra sound
Time Frame: for each case in both groups the investigator assess prostate size at 3, 6, 12 months after procedures through study completion, an average of 1 year.
