ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the feasibility,efficent and safety of transuretheral enucleation of prostate combined with extraction of gland pieces from small lower mid-line incision(LMI).Methods One hundred and twelve patients with large benign prostatic hyperplasia were treated by modified transurethral nucleation of prostate,during the operation,the gland was divided into 2-3 parts which were extracted from a small LMI.Results In this method the operation time was 60-120 min with an average time of(70 ± 10)min and blood loss during operation was 60-400 ml with an average of(150 ± 15)ml.There was no severe complication during and after operation.At the 3 month after surgery,the urine flow rate(Qmax)increased from (7.5 ±2.4)ml/s to(16.0 ±2.5)ml/s,and urine residual volume(RUV)decreased from(75 ± 15)ml to (25 ± 10)ml,international prostate symptom score(IPSS)decreased from 25.5±:4.5 to 8.4 ± 1.3,and the quality of life(QOL)decreased from 5.5 ± 0.4 to 1.2 ± 0.3.All these changes were statistically significant (t =28.53,36.19,37.16 and 59.53,Ps ＜ 0.05).At the 6 month,no complications,e.g.,permenant uroclepsia,urethrostenosis or erection disfounction occurred.Conclusion Transurethral enucleation of prostate combined with gland extraction from LMI for large benign prostatic hyperplasia is safe and effective and it is worthy of generalization in clinical practice.
