Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Conditions
Brief summary
Comparison of transurethral split of the prostate versus transurethral resection of the prostate for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in a small prostate volume: A prospective controlled study
Detailed description
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) was considered as the golden standard to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) for decades. However, TURP was associated with low efficiency to alleviate the lower urinary tract symptoms and a significantly higher risk of bladder neck contracture (BNC) for patients with small-volume BPH. We aimed to compare the therapeutic effect of transurethral split of the prostate (TUSP) with TURP for patients with small-volume BPH (\<30 ml). In this study, some selected small-volume BPH patients were randomly divided into two groups (TUSP and TURP group). The patient's baseline characteristics and perioperative outcomes were recorded. The follow-up was made at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after surgical treatment.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| international prostate symptoms score（IPSS） | within 24 months after surgery | Measuring the International Prostate Symptoms Score by a questionnaire (which minimum value is zero and the maximum value is 35; higher scores mean a worse outcome) |
| maximum urinary flow rate（Qmax） | within 24 months after surgery | Measuring the maximum urinary flow rate by a urodynamic study |
