Abstract

Objectives: Evaluation of the results of bipolar transurethral resection (B-TURP), enucleation (B-TUEP), or vaporization of the prostate (B-TUVP) at 6 months postoperatively with special emphasis on continence and urethral stricture disease.Methods: A series of 32 male patients with symptomatic senile prostatic enlargement who underwent B-TURP, B-TUEP or B-TUVP were evaluated at 3 and 6 months postoperative to assess IPSS, sexual function, continence, urinanalysis, uroflowmetry and PVR. For patients with suspicion of infravesical obstruction (Qmax ≤15ml/s or PVR ≥100cc or IPSS ≥7), a retrograde urethrography and micturiting cystourethrography and/or diagnostic cystoscopy was done.Results: None of our patients developed urethral stricture disease or urinary incontinence at 6 months postoperative regardless of the technique used (vaporization, resection or enucleation).Conclusion: Bipolar TUR-P is safe and effective modality for surgical management of BPH.
