[Comparison of transurethral detaching resection and plasmakinetic transurethral resection of the prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia].

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical effects of transurethral detaching resection (TUDRP) and plasmakinetic transurethral resection of the prostate (PKRP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). METHODS: We collected by the single blind method the clinical data of 81 cases of BPH treated by PKRP (n=41) and TUDRP (n=40), and compared the two groups of patients in their age, preoperative prostate volume, weight of the resected gland, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, time of postoperative Foley's catheter retention, and pre- and post-operative IPSS. RESULTS: The post-operative IPSS was significantly higher in the PKRP than in the TUDRP group (9.95 +/- 1.54 vs. 8.70 +/- 1.13, t = 0.0029, P = 0.0059). CONCLUSION: TUDPR has a better clinical effect than PKRP in the treatment of BPH.
