Filter by:Benign prostatic hypertrophy or prostatic adenoma is a benign tumour that develops in the central part of the prostate. Prostatic adenoma can result in the progressive appearance of a difficulty in evacuating the bladder or frequent urges to urinate and other complications (lithiasis, haematuria, urinary retention, etc.). Surgery is indicated when medical treatment is no longer effective and in the case of complications. The endoscopic techniques for treating prostate adenoma, PLASMA and HOLEP, are recognised and recommended by the French Association of Urology and the European Association of Urology (EAU) as Gold Standard techniques in view of the good results reported in the literature, the low rate of complications compared to the other techniques, and the reduced hospitalisation rate. For prostate volumes less than 80cc, there is no difference between HOLEP and Bipolar Plasma Enucleation of the Prostate (BTUEP) in terms of International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Qmax, and reoperation rate at 12 months. The surgeon's experience is the most important factor influencing the risk of complications for HOLEP. Urinary incontinence after HOLEP according to Houssin et al. is 14.5% at 3 months and 4.2% at 6 months, the risk factors identified were surgeon experience and the existence of diabetes. Comparative evaluation of the two techniques is less frequent, hence the interest of our prospective and multicentre study. In this study, the investigators hope to demonstrate a better outcome of the PLASMA technique in terms of post-operative residual urinary incontinence.
