Abstract

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). 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. 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 <0.001) and shorter bladder irrigation time ([12.5 ± 1.2] vs [43.4 ± 2.8] h, P <0.001), catheterization time ([64.0 ± 4.5] vs [84.8 ± 3.0] h, P <0.001) and hospital stay ([3.1 ± 0.3] vs [5.5 ± 0.4] d, P <0.001). There were no statistically significant differences between the PKEP and PKRP groups in the postoperative maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) ([21.62 ± 1.07] vs [2...Continue Reading
