Article Synopsis
- The study compares the early outcomes of two surgical methods—Collins knife-assisted bipolar enucleation (BipolEP) and Thulium-Yag enucleation (ThuLEP)—for treating lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in patients with large prostates over 80 grams.
- It included 120 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and evaluated their symptoms and urinary function before surgery and at various post-op intervals, revealing no significant differences in performance or complications between the two methods.
- Both surgical techniques demonstrated safety and effectiveness for managing large prostates, but the bipolar method had lower irrigation volumes and post-operative hemoglobin drops.
