Comparison of the clinical effects of transurethral plasmakinetic enucleation of prostate and suprapubic transvesical prostatectomy in the treatment of large volume benign prostatic hyperplasia

Abstract

Objective To assess the clinical efficacy and safety of transurethral plasmakinetic enucleation of prostate (PKEP) and suprapubic transvesical prostatectomy (SPP) in the treatment of large volume benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods A total of eighty patients with large volume BPH were selected in the First People′s Hospital of Xuzhou from March 2014 to December 2016, and they were randomly divided into two groups, the PKEP group and SPP group, with 40 cases in each group.The comparison was made between the two groups in terms of operation indicators, postoperative complications followed up for 6 months after surgery and other related curative effect indexes. Results In the SPP group, the intraoperative blood loss was significantly higher than that of the PKEP group ( (215.7±10.4) ml vs.(75.6±9.2) ml, t=6.541, P 0.05). But the catheterization time after operation, bladder irrigation time and length of hospital stay were significantly longer in the PKEP group than in the SPP group ( (6.3±1.8) d vs.(2.4±0.6) d, (5.5±1.4) d vs.(1.3±0.6) d, (7.7±2.3) d vs.(3.1±0.7) d, t=4.357, 2.542, 2.975, P 0.05). The rate of complication occurrence in the PKEP group were lower than that of the SPP group (P<0.05). Conclusion PKEP was effective in the treatment of BPH, with less bleeding loss, fewer complications and quick recovery.It can significantly improve the life quality of the patients and will be an ideal treatment for large volume BPH.
