Clinical Trial Summary

TUERP technique could be used in prostates of all sizes with the same safety and efficacy "size independent procedure" . TUERP could be performed using the bipolar system only ,with or without the use of morcellator.


Clinical Trial Description

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) was first done in the 1920s. Since then, TURP has been considered as the gold standard treatment for BPH . However, its relatively high complication rate and postoperative recurrence necessitates further modification in the surgery technique .The resected adenomas have been reported to recur in up to 15% of cases that need a repeat surgical intervention, even by experienced surgeons in high-volume centers . Before the era of TURP, simple open prostatectomy was the mainstay of surgical therapy. However, open simple prostatectomy has high risk of considerable intraoperative bleeding requiring transfusion. The lower abdominal incision done in open prostatectomy may result in significant postoperative pain, an extended recovery period and longer hospital stay, with greater morbidity and a perioperative mortality rate of 0.2%. In addition, TURP for large prostatic adenomas causes significantly much more bleeding with clot retention as compared to simple open prostatectomy, it also need a longer operative time, which leads to increased risk of TUR syndrome with subsequent morbidity . A new technique in which transurethral enucleation and resection of the prostate (TUERP) was developed and adopted to replicate the open enucleation of prostatic adenomas in an endoscopic way. This will combine the benefits of complete prostate enucleation in a minimally invasive technique . prostate enucleation by laser currently used as minimally invasive and save alternative to TURP, but still has not been widely accepted for some reasons, including high cost and prolonged learning curve. TUERP technique could be used in prostates of all sizes with the same safety and efficacy "size independent procedure" . TUERP could be performed using the bipolar system only ,with or without the use of morcellator ;
