Management of large (>60 g) prostate gland: PlasmaKinetic Superpulse (bipolar) versus conventional (monopolar) transurethral resection of the prostate.

Background And Purpose: Today, urologists around the world are encountering greater numbers of larger prostate glands, probably because of an initial trial of pharmacotherapy. The present study was performed to assess the safety and efficacy of bipolar transurethral resection of large prostate glands using the PlasmaKinetic (PK) Superpulse System.

Patients And Methods: This single-blind, randomized study included 70 patients with prostate gland >60 g seen on three-dimensional transrectal ultrasonography.
