Evolving Transurethral Resection of the Prostate: Enucleation-Resection of the Prostate

Abstract

Enucleation-transurethral resection of the prostate (e-TURP) is our evolution of the conventional TURP. The aim of this study was to report our experience with e-TURP for the endoscopic management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).The e-TURP combines the basic steps of classic TURP with the technique of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) but using only the bipolar resector. The charts of 64 patients who underwent e-TURP for BPH in our department between October 2005 and October 2009 were retrospectively studied.The mean resected tissue weight was 27.21 g, and the mean operative time was 75.7 min. The mean decreases in hemoglobin and serum sodium levels were 1.63 g/dL and 0.55 mEq/L, respectively. Mean catheter duration was 2.53 days, and the mean total hospitalization time was 3.75 days. There was a significant improvement in urinary peak flow rate (Qmax) 2 months postoperatively (P = 0.009718), as well as a significant decrease in the International Prostate Symptom Score during the same period (P < 0.0001). No major complications were observed, and the rates for early and late complications were 10% and 5%, respectively, at 14.75-month mean follow-up.The e-TURP seems to be a safe and effective method for the endoscopic management of BPH. Further investigation with randomized trials is needed on this matter.
