Comparison of the results of transurethral plasmakinetic resection versus transurethral resection of the prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia / 中华泌尿外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of transurethral plasmakinetic resection of prostate (PKRP) and transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods Two groups of BPH patients (78 patients in each group) were treated by PKRP and TURP,respectively. The clinical efficacy and safety indices were reviewed and compared for both intra- and inter-groups. Results In PKRP group,the operative time,intraoperative bleeding, the rates of postoperative temporary urinary incontinence (within 2 months) ,secondary hemorrhage (within 4 weeks),and urethral stricture (within 3 months) were ( 64?21) min, ( 247?84) ml, 26. 9% ( 21/78 ) , 1. 3% ( 1/78 ) and 2.6% (2/78) ,respectively; while in TURP group, these parameters were (78?18) min, (432?132) ml, 48.7% (38/78) , 10. 3% (8/78) and 12. 8% ( 10/78 ), respectively; there were significant differences between the 2 groups (P 0. 05). Conclusions PKRP and TURP have similar efficacy in the treatment of BPH,but PKRP is safer than TURP. Thus,PKRP is a better treatment option for BPH.
