ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of transurethral vaporization combined with resection in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) and prevention of complications. Methods Under low position continuous epidural anesthesia, 83 cases of BPH were treated by transurethral vaporization and resection with Stabilized loop, roller-shape and spade electrodes. Results The mean operative time was 58 min and blood loss 80ml. No blood transfusion was required and no transurethral resection syndrome(TURS) occurred. All patients had been followed up for 2 months～2 years. IPSS decreased from(26 4?5 7)points to(8 4?3 9) points( t =20 31, P
