ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of transurethral plasmakinetic vaporization of prostate(PKVP)in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.Methods Totally 180 BPH patients were treated with PKVP from January 2003 to December 2006.Results The weight of the resected prostatic tissue was)52.4? 26.8)g,operating period was)61.2?32.8)minutes,and the amount of bleeding was)70.1?46.3)ml.No transurethral resection syndrome(TURS)and obturator nerve reflex was observed.The patients were followed up for 1～25 months postoperatively,and the maximum urine flow(Qmax)was increased from)6.2?4.1)ml/s preopera- tively to)21.2?4.6)ml/s postoperatively;the international prostate symptom score(IPSS)was decreased from (25.6?4.8)points to)6.8?2.6)points;the residual urine volume was reduced from)67.8?27.3)ml to)17.5 ?7.3)ml;the quality of life(QOL)score was decreased from)5.1?1.5)to)1.8?0.5),and there were signifi- cant differences before and after operation(P
