“…In addition, the authors found a remarkable decline in tissue removal of more than 50% for TUVP on pretreated tissue, which can only be compensated in vivo by an additional energy input. Compared to standard TURP, pure electrovaporization as done in this particular patient requires slower speed, higher voltage, and increased pressure application [11]. In this case, the second surgery in February 2016 was of 55 minutes’ duration, which was 10 minutes longer than the initial TURP in 2011.…”

BackgroundShort-term and long-term complications of transurethral prostate resection can be different in nature. Capsule perforation and subsequent fistulation after resection and electrovaporization is seldom reported in the literature.Case presentationHere we report the case of a 79-year-old caucasian man with capsule perforation after transurethral prostate resection and electrovaporization resulting in a severe and recurrent symphysitis and subsequent pelvic ring fracture. The bladder-symphysis fistulation was surgically removed and additional orthopedic surgery could be avoided after definitely solving the urological problem.ConclusionsUrologists should be aware of rare complications after transurethral resection and electrovaporization of the prostate.

“…A similar process of tissue vaporisation is involved in transurethral electrovapor resection of the prostate (TUVRP), which uses a thick wedge loop allowing for simultaneous vaporisation and resection of the gland, and is responsible for approximately 50% resected tissue weight reduction [ 17 , 18 ], whereas the loss of glandular mass that occurs in EVAP is strictly due to tissue vaporisation.…”

IntroductionTransurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is regarded as the gold standard surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The completeness of TURP may be assessed indirectly by estimation of the weight of glandular tissue removed. This parameter is often lower than expected. Tissue vaporisation in the course of TURP could be a contributory cause.AimTo quantitatively evaluate tissue vaporisation occurring in the course of transurethral resection of the prostate and electrovaporisation of the prostate (EVAP) performed under experimental conditions.Material and methodsThe study was performed on 26 prostate glands removed during retropubic prostatectomy. Immediately following surgery all adenomas were halved and TURP or EVAP were carried out on both halves of each gland for period of 5 min. The amount of prostate tissue which vaporised during EVAP and TURP were calculated.ResultsThe mean weight (± standard deviation) of the adenoma lost due to resection and vaporisation in the TURP group was 10.00 ±2.92 g and 4.26 ±1.59 g, respectively. The latter accounted for 30.10 ±7.71% of total prostate weight reduction. The mean prostate weight lost in the course of EVAP was 5.03 ±1.58 g.ConclusionsThe vaporisation significantly contributes to the prostate tissue loss occurring during transurethral resection of the prostate.

Today, the surgical treatment of the benign prostatic syndrome (BPS) often follows a course of drug treatment. Besides conventional transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), which has represented the standard therapeutic option for decades, and its in part significant modifications ("vaporizing resection"; bipolar resection), much of the interest has shifted to alternative instrumental procedures like transurethral microwave therapy (TUMT), transurethral needle ablation of the prostate (TUNA) or several laser techniques. By reviewing the current literature, preferably from randomized controlled trials, these different procedures are critically assessed. Moreover, the present role of open prostatectomy is discussed.
