ABSTRACT
Objective@#To compare the safety and effectiveness of shovel-shaped electrode transurethral plasmakinetic enucleation of the prostate (PKEP) with those of plasmakinetic resection of the prostate (PKRP) in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).@*METHODS@#We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data about 78 BPH patients received in Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital from June 2016 to January 2017, 39 treated by shovel-shaped electrode PKEP and the other 39 by PKRP. We observed the patients for 6 months postoperatively and compared the effects and safety of the two surgical strategies.@*RESULTS@#No statistically significant difference was observed between the PKEP and PKRP groups in the operation time ([69.3 ± 8.8] vs [72.2 ± 7.9] min, P = 0.126), but the former, as compared with the latter, showed a markedly less postoperative loss of hemoglobin ([3.9 ± 2.8] vs [13.9 ± 5.2] g/L, P 0.05) and other postoperative complications.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Both PKEP and PKRP are effective methods for the treatment of BPH, but PKEP is worthier of clinical recommendation for a better safety profile, more thorough removal of the prostate tissue, less blood loss, shorter hospital stay, and better improved quality of life of the patient.
