“…In a study by Kaplan et al, the mean duration of hospitalisation was 2.6±0.9 days in TUEVP versus 1.3±0.5 days in TURP cases. 9 In a study by Kupeli et al, the mean hospital stay in TURP cases was 4.5 days and in TUEVP cases the mean hospital stay was 2.5 days. 13 In TUEVP, about 85.7% had no complications, 2 patients (5.7%) had urinary tract infection which was treated by oral antibiotics, 1 patient (2.9%) complained of impotence who gradually improved over following 2 months without any intervention, 1 patient (2.9%) had retrograde ejaculation and did not improve even after 6 months of follow up and 1 patient (2.9%) had urethral stricture following UTI for which internal optical urethrotomy had to be done after 6 weeks.…”

“…2,6,7 It is a modification of the existing transurethral technology, is most recent promising alternative to TURP. 8,9 It is based on the principal of using electric current to vaporise and desiccate prostatic tissue. Vaporisation is done using high cutting current (up to 300 W) and desiccation is done using coagulation current (between 40 W and 70 W).…”

Background: Transurethral Resection of Prostate (TURP) has been gold standard of surgical treatment of BPH but nonetheless it is associated with many complications. Transurethral Electro-Vaporisation of Prostate (TUEVP) is a new promising modality which has similar results and better side effect profile.Methods: A prospective, randomised, comparative study was conducted on seventy patients with symptomatic BPH in the Surgery department of Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Delhi over two years starting from December 2014. These patients were randomly assigned to two groups- A and B using online random number generator. Patients of group A underwent TUEVP and those of group B underwent TURP. Overall patient satisfaction, patient safety, procedural efficacy and operative ease of the surgeon were compared.Results: Mean operative time (42.1 min in TUEVP and 38.4 min in TURP) and complication rates (14.3% in TUEVP and 11.4% in TURP) were comparable in both groups. Intra-operative bleeding was significantly less (2.9% in TUEVP; 22.9% in TURP) and visual clarity of operative field was significantly better in TUEVP (persistently clear in 97.1% in TUEVP; 77.1% in TURP). The mean catheterisation time (1.14 days in TUEVP and 2.51 days in TURP) and hospitalisation time (2.14 days in TUEVP and 3.1 days in TURP) were significantly shorter in TUEVP.Conclusions: TUEVP is comparable to TURP in terms of patient satisfaction, safety, operative time and procedural efficacy. TUEVP has shorter duration of catheterisation and hospitalisation and is better than TURP in terms of intra-operative bleeding and operative ease of the surgeon.
