Transvesical Prostatectomy Versus Transurethral Resection ofProstate For Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia More Than 100 Gms: A Randomized Control Trial

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To compare the functional effects and complicationsof transvesical prostatectomy (TVP) and bipolar transurethralresection of prostate (TURP) in patients with benign prostatichyperplasia (BPH) more than 100 gms.Method: Hundred and five patients participated at the SPMCMedical College, Bikaner, India with complaints of BPH withprostate size of 100-150 gm over study duration from June2015 to May 2018. Patients were grouped according to theireligibility for the two surgical procedures namely TVP (n=56)and bipolar TURP (n=49).Results: Of the total 105 patients, 56 (53.33%) patients weresurgically treated with TVP while the remaining 49 (46.67%)were managed with TURP. We did not observe any statisticallysignificant difference between the two groups with regards theIPSS, Qmax, residual urine volume. The numbers of postoperative complications were higher in TURP group (n=9) ascompared to TVP (n=3). Even the late complications such asstricture formation, need for redoing the surgery were higher inTURP group compared to TVP group.Conclusion: Open prostatectomy is a safer and more effectivesurgical treatment option for patients with BPH more than 100gms as compared to bipolar TURP. Even the reports of postoperative complications were higher in TURP group.
