Objective To compare transurethral electrovaporization longer than that of TURP, at 39.7 (8.8) min (P<0.001). One hour after TURP, patients had sigof the prostate (TUVP) with conventional transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in the treatment of nificantly lower levels of haemoglobin, haematocrit and Na. The mean (sd) duration of catheterization men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Patients and methods Seventy consecutive patients with after TURP was 2 (0.8) days, significantly more than after TUVP, at 1.1 (0.4) days (P<0.001). The mean symptomatic BPH and a prostate size of <60 g were prospectively randomized between equal treatment (sd) hospital stay was 2.5 (1) days after TURP and 1.5 (0.7) after TUVP (P<0.001). Compared with groups; one group underwent standard TURP and the other TUVP. Patients were assessed at baseline and 1, baseline values, the AUA-7 symptom score, Q max and PVR improved significantly in both groups at all 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment, giving a mean (sd) duration of follow-up of 14.4 (1.9) months (range intervals of follow-up and there were no significant diÂerences between the groups during the follow-up. 12-17). Variables evaluated included the duration of operation, catheterization and hospital stay, and None of 15 potent men undergoing TURP and two of 18 potent men undergoing TUVP complained of impochanges in blood levels of haemoglobin, haematocrit and sodium 1 h after the operation. The American tence during the follow-up. Conclusions TUVP is as eÂective as TURP in the treatUrologic Association (AUA)-7 symptom score, peak urinary flow rate (Q max ), post-voiding residual urine ment of BPH in men with a prostate size of <60 g. TUVP has the advantages of less blood loss, less volume (PVR) and sexual function were also evaluated during the follow-up.absorption of irrigant and a shorter hospital stay, but it had a significantly longer operative duration. Results Patients of both groups were balanced for the diÂerent baseline variables. The mean (sd) operative Keywords Transurethral electrovaporization, outcome, prostatectomy duration of TUVP was 52 (12.5) min, significantly complications, there has been a resurgence of interest in
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
