Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate a new operation method for the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia(BPH).
METHODSOne hundred and seventy-nine patients with BPH were treated by the combined use of transurethral electrovaporization ablation of the prostate(TUVP) and transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP).
RESULTSThe procedure was successful and the results were satisfactory, with little bleeding and no serious complication. IPSS decreased from 29.0 preoperatively to 7.6 postoperatively (P < 0.05) and Qmax increased from 5.8 ml/s preoperatively to 14.8 ml/s postoperatively(P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSThe combined use of TUVP and TURP is a safe, effective and ideal method for the treatment of BPH.
